Dining With Alice - Big Money

Closing time

never felt this far away

when I’m out of here

I’ll drive to my old country place

hidden in the attic

a suitcase that holds the magic

pages where I left off last night

in the flickering candle light

I was dining with Alice

down by the river

dining with Alice

on the other side of the mirror

don’t ask how 'cause it is

a secret between Alice and me

just Alice and me

Early rise

been sleeping in my three piece suit

pyjamas with a tie

wanna stay home alone by my stereo

but I got to go, she said:

stay here in your own mind

let go lose your life line

trust me, just don’t be afraid

if there’s a will there is a way

I was dining with Alice

down by the river

dining with Alice

on the other side of the mirror

don’t ask how 'cause it is

a secret between Alice and me

just Alice and me

I overslept

woke up too late again

you’re doing a lousy job

are you doing drugs

maybe I ought to fire you

I told my boss it won’t happen again

trying not to fall asleep

why do I slave for this creep

all day through I will be

thinking of Alice and me…

Dining with Alice

down by the river

just Alice and me

dining with Alice

on the other side of the mirror
