That Alice

Born in Detroit, then she studied in France

She played the harp, she played jazz

With John Coltrane, she became his wife

Made a lot of music before he died

That Alice, made a palace

For us to hear

That Alice, made a palace

For our ears

She moved to California, became a swamini

Living in a place near Malibu Beach

I never had the chance, to see her play

I listen to the records and I feel the waves

That Alice, made a palace

For us to hear

That Alice, made a palace

For our ears

Made a million journeys in your mind

I can feel it in the way that you keep time

I wonder if she's watching, up above the clouds

What happened to her spirit, is it still in the ground

I can hear her, in that spinning black

Living in a jukebox, so coming back

That Alice, made a palace

For us to hear

That Alice, made a palace

For our ears

That Alice

That Alice

That Alice

That Alice
