Darwin Deez - Alice



[Verse 1]
You put your hair back in that magic black elastic
I’m powerless to ponytails who used to do gymnastics and I
I know you know you wanna dance
When I watch you smile and try to mask it
And stir your whisky with the plastic

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re pitcher perfect in this light beer
Nevermind the twenty-hour flight here

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice
All my best come-ons
But come on
You are too far away

[Verse 2
But everything is better through a, a camera in Canberra
Skype is now my lifeline and, and email is manna and if
Airfare weren’t so unfair
I would be in Sydney instantly
And we’d be Bondi bound

[Pre-Chorus]
You have monopolized cute
But talk about a trivial pursuit
[Chorus]
Alice, Alice
All my best come-ons
But come on
You are too far away

[Bridge]
Too far away to keep
'Cause every time I wake up, you’re about to go to sleep
And you say, "G’day, this is Alice, leave a message at the beep"
Only missing you is pointless when you’re always out of reach
Besides there’s nothing left to say to you now
I just have to hold you
And now we are just as natural a disaster as I told you
So evacuate my heart, 'cause inside is total chaos
And I lose myself when people say your name and I stay lost
Stay lost for a good three days
A really good three days

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
Maybe one day we’ll find a way
Find a way, find a way, find a way
Maybe one, maybe, maybe one day we'll find
But day for me is night for you
But I’ll still say goodnight to you
