Alice On The Rooftop
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 tommorow 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
Theres a cross in the hand
Of a man who is ready to die
Theres 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
