Lyrics Dining With Alice - Big Money

Dining With Alice

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
