Alice

Alice won the lottery
Now she won't come home to me
Now she living over seas
And I'm all alone

She up and quit her nine to five
Some awful uptown business dive
Worked just enough to stay alive
And keep on the phone

Now she's living in a town
No one who knows her is around
She can't sleep without the sound
Of the buses rolling by
And of jet planes in the sky
And the breathing of her guy
At night

Alice won the lottery
She changed so completely
From the girl she used to be
Who is she now

Now she's faded from the crowd
To some penthouse in a town
She can't sleep without the sound
Of the buses rolling by and the jet planes in the sky
And the breathing of her guy
At night
