watching alice

• tender prey albümünden bir nick cave and the bad seeds şarkısı.
  
  alice wakes
  it is morning
  she is yawning
  as she walks about the room
  her hair falls down her breast
  she is naked and it is june
  standing at the window
  i wonder if she knows that i can see
  watching alice rise year after year
  up in her palace, she's captive there
  alice's body is golden brown
  her hair hangs down
  as she stoops to conquer me
  first she pulls her stocking on
  and then the church bell chimes
  alice climbes into her uniform
  the zippers on the side
  watching alice dressing in her room
  it's so depressing, it's cruel
  watching alice dressing in her room
  it's so depressing, it's true...
• müzik tarihinin en hüzünlü, içten şarkılarından biridir benim için. ancak ne yazık ki, hak ettiği değeri görememiş.
