Alice on the Rooftop

See the cars down below

How they go, they come and they go

See the fools, work all day

Fade away and they don't even know

It's a shame, it's insane

It's the world that's happening here

And it's hard to maintain

When everything is so insincere

Alice is on the rooftop

Alice is on the rooftop

There's a part in a play

That I swear was meant just for me

It's the part of a sailor

Who's becoming afraid of the sea

Where ya going? Where ya been?

Are you trying so hard to fit in?

What's the point? Fix the joint

And tomorrow you can tell me again

And Alice is on the rooftop

Alice is on the rooftop

And the sun don't ever come

Where the rain refuses to fall

And you can't jump the bridge

When there is no bridge at all

There's a cross in the hand

Of a man who is ready to die

There's a bird on my window

I believe she's ready to fly

Take your toes from the ledge

And your arms are open wide

You're so tired, you're so torn

But your heart keeps beating inside

And Alice is on the rooftop

Alice is on the rooftop

Yeah, Alice
