Song Of Alice歌词

[00:17.80]She was the…
[00:19.91]the patron saint of 23rd street
[00:28.22]She was around for a lot of that
[00:30.09]she …
[00:33.34]Wandering around the hotel hallways in the middle of the night
[00:38.30]carrying a little yellow cardboard box.
[00:46.54]And she inhabited the place like a butterfly
[01:00.11]There was this kind of sadness about her and a…
[01:04.01]and she did have this light.
[01:09.58]And nobody ever knew her real name.
[01:26.21]There was times
[01:30.14]I’d see her coming down that street
[01:33.72]stepping through broken bottles and gum
[01:37.49]and carrying her shoes, barefoot.
[01:43.08]People said she was crazy but I don’t know.
[01:52.42]About six months before the fire there was …
[01:56.78]there was a big blackout.
[01:59.38]Famous, summer blackout.
[02:05.70]She walked around through the halls giving everyone candles.
[02:13.32]Scared everybody away in the end.
[02:45.15]Then when the fire happened, you know,
[02:49.67]everybody assumed it was her.
[03:05.20]There had been fires in the halls that year,
[03:08.07]little ones.
[03:16.64]I dunno if it was fair or not but everybody blamed her for it.
[03:44.46]And then one day she…
[03:46.31]she just vanished. And later they…
[03:52.52]said her name was Alice.
[03:55.67]All that time I never knew her name.
