Lyrics

Allison

From distant star to this here bar
The me, the you, where are we now?
Hooray the blues of everyone
Allison

...
Keeps a smile around a while
He took no fright and jettisoned
We'll go tonight to hear him tell

Oh well

...

Allison
Allison

...

And when the planets hit the sun
I saw the face of Allison
