lyrics

Alice, I am out here on my own
Talking history with the herons
While the present laps the shore

Sometimes I refrain from talkin' loud
But my thoughts are in Pamplona
Chasing down a crowd
They would make you proud

Alice, would you take me from these thoughts
Let's get high and cover distance
on highways through the dark

Tonight I am no longer twenty three
And I'm lit up like a candle
So make a wish and blow me
Settle on the good side of my dreams

Secret spies are switching on the lights
The night is getting bright
Watching from a satellite
Laughing all the while

Alice, I am out here on my own
Trying hard to keep my good head
Just in front of my great heart

When something slick and shiny steals the stage
Takes the reigns and brings the beast up
And suddenly it's day
I don't know what to say

'Cause anyway by now you're out the door
And I'm stuck here spitting phrases
And staring at the floor

But I'm hopeful you'll come around again
When time will lose it's patience
And satellites will dim
I know this from before

Secret spies are switching on the lights
The night is getting bright
Watching from a satellite
Laughing all the while
