Alice Is Playing With Matches

from Dead Go Fast! LP by vii-pii

/

lyrics

While the desert burns her innocence,
Alice is playing sitting in some pool of sorrow
She watches lights go out on the ruins of her world

In her dreams
She dances all day with a blue-eyed cat
Still the death toys that are in her little hands

Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – is playing with matches
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – we don’t want you to die

And in the evening the sun sets

Life has burnt her in a sense
Alice explains, living it like [there’s] no tomorrow
Keeps matches to light a fire on the ruins of her world

Well she doesn’t care, dwelling on dreams
Wasting away with her blue-eyed cat
Hold the death toys warmly in her little hands

Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – is playing with matches
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – we don’t want you to die

And in the evening the sun sets

And in the evening the sun sets
And in the morning the sun rises
And in the evening the sun sets
And in the morning the sun rises
And the world ain’t listening
And the world keeps spinning
And in the morning the sun rises
And in the evening the sun sets
