LIZ PHAIR LYRICS - Alice Springs

"Alice Springs"



See the sun rise

So loud,

This whole town

Gets drowned out.

Sky writing with the sweep of a flashlight

I'm driving over that way

Some pot of gold, it's just a carpeting store on opening day.



See the moon rise

So slow,

And shallow,

It burns halos in my eyes.

It's harder to swallow,

It's harder to breathe,

So many opals, nobody here knows what to believe.

They've got me underground.
