not too long ago, a century or so |
|
alice was a girl that everybody knew |
|
every man's desire, the talk of the town |
|
but look at her face and your face will frown |
|
her beauty is gone, she has become old |
|
no more lovers left, she is all alone |
|
walking down the road by the harbour side |
|
normal faces turn getting drunk each night |
|
broken dreams - what has become of you? |
|
time passed by, you've lost your youth and grace |
|
broken dreams - what has become of you? |
|
your beauty is gone, it swept away |
|
look at the mirror, can't be the truth |
|
you look at yourself, you're a cheat |
|
but who are you cheating? |
|
can't you see anyone but you? |
|
it's cold outside, rain is pouring down |
|
all her dreams have gone, she has lost her grace |
|
nowhere left to go except port place |
|
where she meets her friend: liquid, tasty and brown |
|
no more drinks are spent, no one left to chat |
|
she never cared a lot about a broken heart |
|
now she seems to rot, her skin becomes a mess |
|
she looks embarassing in her evening dress |
|
broken dreams - what has become of you? |
|
time passed by, you've lost your youth and grace |
|
broken dreams - what has become of you? |
|
your beauty is gone, it swept away |
|
look at the mirror, can't be the truth |
|
you look at yourself, you're a cheat |
|
but who are you cheating? |
|
can't you see anyone but you? 3x |
