The Sisters of Mercy
Alice
[Verse 1]
Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers call and
Crush the petals on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly, so serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean, to
[Chorus]
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today
[Verse 2]
Pass the crystal, spread the tarot
In illusion, comfort lies
The safest way, the straight and narrow
No confusion, no surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
Alice in her party, dressed to kill
She thanks you, turns away
Needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay, to
[Chorus]
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today
[Outro]
Alice
Don't give it away
No
