Neil Halstead
Alison
[Verse 1]
Listen close and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed-up world will thrill me

[Refrain]
Alison, I'm lost

[Chorus]
"Alison," I said, "We're sinking"
There's nothing here but that's okay
Outside your room, your sister's spinning
But she lies, tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

[Verse 2]
And the sailors, they strike poses
TV covered walls
End so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed-up life still thrills me

[Refrain]
Alison, I'm lost
[Chorus]
Alison, I'll drink your wine
I'll wear your clothes when we're both high
"Alison," I said, "We're sinking"
But she laughs and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
