Lyrics

Alison

Listen close and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost
"Alison," I said
"We're sinking"
There's nothing here
But that's okay
Outside your room
Your sister's spinning
But she laughs
Tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

And the sailors
They strike poses
TV covered walls
Answer slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost
Alison, I'll drink your wine
And wear your clothes when we're both high
"Alison," I said
"We're sinking"
But she laughs
And tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
