Alice and Johnny

Johnny’s on the stairs, never seen him sad
Lost his game of snakes and ladders
Somewhere gone with a guy in skinny jeans

I remember when they lived next door
Always watching the world
Screaming blame, bomb fall to the ground

Johnny’s in despair, I’ll give him water
He’s been late like a lie on the slaughter
Somewhere gone with a guy with independent means
Independent means

I remember when they lived next door
Always watching the world
Screaming blame, men fall to the ground

Stay in bed til the afternoon
Everything in just one room
But she’s not waiting, she won’t wait around

Now
He wants to talk to you; he’s not getting through (she wont wait)
He lost his game
Somewhere gone, somewhere gone, oh yeah

Stay in bed til the afternoon
Everything in just one room
But she’s not waiting, she won’t wait around
She won’t wait around

He wants to talk to you
She wants to talk to you
He’s not getting through

I remember when they lived next door
Johnny’s on the stairs now
She won’t wait
Won’t wait around

She won’t wait
He wants to talk to you
