Alice - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You put your hair back in that magic black elastic

I’m powerless to ponytails who used to do gymnastics and I

I know you know you wanna dance

When I watch you smile and try to mask it

And stir your whisky with the plastic

You’re pitcher perfect in this light beer

Nevermind the twenty-hour flight here

Alice, Alice

All my best come-ons

But come on

You are too far away

[Verse 2

But everything is better through a, a camera in Canberra

Skype is now my lifeline and, and email is manna and if

Airfare weren’t so unfair

I would be in Sydney instantly

And we’d be Bondi bound

You have monopolized cute

But talk about a trivial pursuit

Alice, Alice

All my best come-ons

But come on

You are too far away

Too far away to keep

'Cause every time I wake up, you’re about to go to sleep

And you say, "G’day, this is Alice, leave a message at the beep"

Only missing you is pointless when you’re always out of reach

Besides there’s nothing left to say to you now

I just have to hold you

And now we are just as natural a disaster as I told you

So evacuate my heart, 'cause inside is total chaos

And I lose myself when people say your name and I stay lost

Stay lost for a good three days

A really good three days

Maybe one day we’ll find a way

Find a way, find a way, find a way

Maybe one, maybe, maybe one day we'll find

But day for me is night for you

But I’ll still say goodnight to you
