There's Only Alice

It's dreamy weather
where on you waved your crooked wand
along an icy pond
with a frozen moon
murder of silhouette crows
I saw in the tears on my face
and the skates on the pond
they spelled Alice

I disappear in your name
but you must wait for me
somewhere beneath the sea
there's a wreck of a ship
your hair is like meadowgrass on the tide
and the raindrops on my window
and the ice in my drink
baby all I can think of is Alice

arithme-tic arithme-tock
turn the hands back on the clock
how does the ocean rock the boat?
how did the razor find my throat?
the only strings that hold me here
are tangled up around the pier

and so secret kiss
brings madness with the bliss
and I will think of this
when I'm dead in my grave
set me adrift and I'm lost in your hair
and I must be insane
to go skating on your name
and by tracing it twice
I fell though the ice of Alice

there's only Alice 

And No One Knows I'm Gone

hell above and heaven below
all the trees are gone
the rain has a such a lovely sound
to those who're six feet underground
the leaves will bury every year
and no one knows I'm gone

leave me golden tell me dark
hide from Graveyard John
the moon is full here every night
and I can bathe here in his light
the leaves will bury every year
and no one knows I'm gone 

Tabletop Joe

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
everyone knows Tabletop Joe

well his mama didn't want him
on the day he was born
born without a body
he got nothing but scorn

but he always loved music
all he had was his hands
and he dreamed he'd be famous
and he'd work at the Sands

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
everyone knows Tabletop Joe

he had trouble with the pedals
but he had a strong left hand
and he could play Stravinsky
on a baby grand

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
everyone knows Tabletop Joe

he said "I'm gonna join the circus
cause that's I where I belong"
and he went to Coney Island
singing this song

and they gave him top billing
in the Dreamland show
he had his own orchestra
starring Tabletop Joe

and the man without a body
proved everyone wrong
he was rich and he was famous
and he was where he belonged

singing Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
now everyone knows, Tabletop Joe
now everyone knows, Tabletop Joe
singing Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe... 

Hang Me in the Bottle

well you can hang me in a bottle like a cat
let the crows pick me clean but for my hat
where the wailing of a baby
meets the footsteps of the dead
we're all mad here

and the devil sticks his flag into the mud
Mrs Carol has run off with Reverend Judd
hell is such a lonely place
and your big expensive face will never last

have I told you all about the eyeball kid?
he was born alone inside a petri dish
he was born without a body or a brow

and you'll die with the rose still on your lips
and in time the heart-shaped bone that was your hips
and all the worms
they will climb the rugged ladder of your spine
we're all mad here

and my eyeballs roll this terrible terrain
and we're all inside a decomposing train
and your eyes will die like fish
and the shore of your face will turn to bone

hang me in a bottle like a cat
let the crows pick me clean but for my hat
where the wailing of a baby
meets the footsteps of the dead
we're all mad here 

Down the Reeperbahn

around the curve of a parrot bar
a broken-down old movie star
hustling an Easterner
bringing out the beast in him
a high dive on a swimming pool
filled with needles and with fools
the memories are short but the tales are long
down there in the reeperbahn

they called her Rosie when she was a girl
for her bright red cheeks and strawberry curls
when she would sing the river would run
she said she'd be a comedian
oh what a pity, oh what a shame
when she said "come calling" nobody came
now her bright red cheeks are painted on
and she's laughing her head off in the reeperbahn

now little Hans was always strange
wearing women's underthings
his father beat him but he wouldn't change
he ran off with a man one day
now his lingerie is all the rage
in the black on every page
his father proudly calls his name
down there in the reeperbahn

now if you've lost your inheritance
and all you're left is common sense
and you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
or the mattress where you sleep
behind every window, behind every door
the apple's gone but there's always the core
the seeds will sprout up right through the floor
down there in the reeperbahn
down there in the reeperbahn 

Everything You Can Think of is True

everything you can think of is true
before the ocean was blue
you were lost in a flood run red with your blood's nigerian skeleton crew

everything you can think of is true
the dish ran away with the spoon
dig deep in your heart for that little red glow
we're decomposing as we go

everything you can think of is true
and fishes make wishes on you
we're fighting our way up dreamland's spine
with black flamingos, expensive wine

everything you can think of is true
the baby's asleep in your shoe
your teeth are buildings with yellow doors
your eyes are fish on a creamy shore 

...But There's Never a Rose

over here the ladies all waltz with perfume
but there's never a rose
and over there the roses are frightened to bloom
so they never can grow

and over here they need wool
for weaving their baby's new clothes
but nobody has any wool
and the sheep are all lost in the harbour
lost in the harbour

and over here they want diamonds to wear
but there aren't any here
and over there everyone's hiding their tears
but they're crying inside
and the wall won't come down
till they're no longer afraid of themselves
and if you don't believe me ask the elves
and then I can come down to the harbour
down to the harbour

and then I will fill the ocean back up with my tears
I still have a couple more years
and then I can come back to the harbour
down to the harbour 

Chained Together for Life

did you hear the news about Edward?
on the back of his head he had another face
was it a woman's face or a young girl?

they said to remove it would kill him
so poor Edward was doomed
the face could laugh and cry
it was his devil twin
and at night she spoke to him
things heard only in hell
they were impossible to separate
chained together for life

finally the bell tolled his doom
he took a suite of rooms and hung himself and her from the balcony aisle
some still believe he was freed from her
but I knew her too well
I say she drove him to suicide
and took poor Edward to hell
