Watching Alice

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

Alice wakes
 It is morning
 She is yawning
 As she walks about the room
 Her hair falls down her breast
 She is naked and it is June

Standing at the window
 I wonder if she knows that I can see

Watching Alice rise year after year
 Up in her palace, she's captive there

Alice's body
 Is golden brown
 Her hair hangs down
 As she stoops to conquer me
 First she pulls her stocking on
 And then the church bell chimes
 Alice climbes into her uniform
 The zippers on the side
 Watching Alice dressing in her room
 It's so depressing, it's cruel

Watching Alice dressing in her room
 It's so depressing, it's true
