Ben Folds Alice Childress (iTunes Originals Version) Lyrics

Some summers in the evening
After six or so
I walk on down the hill
And maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
Sometimes I wish
They lived out here
But they wouldnt
Dig this town
No they wouldnt
Dig this town

Chorus
Try not to think about it
Alice childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Try not to think about it
Alice childress
Anymore,
No not anymore
No

Alice the world
Is full of ugly things
That you cant change
Pretend its not that way
Thats my idea of faith
You can blow it off
And say theres good
In nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Give them all a chance

Chorus

No it didnt work out
No it didnt work out
The way we thought it would
No it didnt work out
An arranged marriage
Is not so good

Thank God its you
You know your timing is
Impeccable
Im not fooling you
I dont know what to do
Some dude just knocked me cold
And left me on the sidewalk
Took everything I had
Everything I had

Try not to thing about it
Alice childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Its getting light where you are
Alice childress
Anymore, no not anymore
Anymore, no not anymore
