《Alice》歌词

[00:00:00] Ian Hunter

[00:00:16] Now Alice needed money I put 10 on the breeze

[00:00:21] As the wind died away she sank way below her knees

[00:00:25] And as a hurricane passed by she clutched the money from the sky

[00:00:29] She must have been at least a fathom high

[00:00:33] She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street

[00:00:37] With all her golden ambitions and dead rhinestones in her feet

[00:00:42] And when a stranger said she sucked she just smiled believing luck

[00:00:46] As she climed into his truck to make a buck

[00:00:50] Oh my god she's running round the trees

[00:00:55] Said she couldn't touch them because they're so real

[00:01:01] Alice you remind me of Manhattan

[00:01:05] The seedy and the snaz the shoeboys and the satins

[00:01:09] Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in

[00:01:14] Oh I got my eyes on you

[00:01:22] Now keep a watch on your watch and a watch on her watch

[00:01:26] Cause if you ain't too careful he's gonna kick you in the crotch

[00:01:31] And you're out in the cold and you know that you've been rolled

[00:01:35] And the cops don't even stop and you feel old

[00:01:39] See Alice really liked you but you stayed a while too long

[00:01:44] Now she wants you to forget it and come back before too long

[00:01:47] But make it quick if you could she's gonna star in Hollywood

[00:01:52] The producer seems to think she's kinda good

[00:01:57] Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence

[00:02:01] Laughing at the lights of New York City

[00:02:07] Alice you remind of Manhattan

[00:02:11] The seedy and snaz the shoeboys and the satins

[00:02:15] Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in

[00:02:20] Oh just come over

[00:02:59] ROLL UP

[00:02:59] See Alice on the palace where her name adorns the boards

[00:03:04] Ain't no flash in her Cannes she got the willpower of a horse

[00:03:07] And it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay

[00:03:12] Or is it really just a couple of blocks away

[00:03:16] Now I wonder if she wonders if I wonder if she wonders

[00:03:20] About the times I put her down when she seemed to be right under

[00:03:24] She told me morals are traditions contradictions superstitions

[00:03:28] See Alice is always based on split decisions

[00:03:33] Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence

[00:03:36] And digging what I thought was New York City

[00:03:42] Oh Alice you remind me of Manhattan

[00:03:47] The seedy and snaz the shoeboys and the satins

[00:03:51] Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in

[00:03:55] Oh I like you

[00:03:59] Yeah Alice the lights were meant for you

[00:04:03] Your weaknesses successful and your selfishness the clue

[00:04:07] You gotta lose what you get and for what you get you lose

[00:04:11] Oh I know it

[00:04:15] Oh Alice don't stop and think a minute

[00:04:19] Or your brain is gonna get ya drop your heart right in it

[00:04:23] And you're a shooting star and you'll die if you don't win it

[00:04:27] Yeah

[00:05:02] You didn't make the book
