Alice Childress

Some summers in the evening after 6 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 wouldn't dig this town
 No, they wouldn't dig this town
 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

 Alice, the world is full of ugly things that you can't change
 Pretend it's not that way, that's my idea of faith
 You can blow it off and say there's good in nearly everyone
 Just give them all a chance
 Now let's give them all a chance

 No, it didn't work out
 No, it didn't work out the way we thought it would
 No, it didn't work out
 (An arranged marriage is not so good)
 Thank God it's you, you know, your timing is impeccable
 And I'm not fooling you, I don't know what to do
 Some dude just knocked me cold and left me on the sidewalk
 Took everything I had
 Everything I had

 It's getting late where you are, Alice Childress
 Anymore, no, not anymore
