Big Money – Dining With Alice lyrics

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
