The Sisters of Mercy
Alice (1993)
[Intro - 0:59]

[Verse 1]
She pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers call and
Crush the petals on the floor

[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 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
[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 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!
Alice!
Don't give it away!
