It's the story of Alice Ann
And how she met her grisly end
Ashes and dust have taken up residency
Where her heart should beat
True love daydreams and ballgown fantasies
Never came true, this Cinderella had turned to blue
She had become a pro cigarette smoker
Took her life into her nicotine-stained hands
Pots and pans are flying off the handle of this
Screaming roman candle
Grab your babies, run for cover
'Cause it's the war of Alice Ann
Fighting for salvation
She's a dying conversation
On a telephone that's off the hook
It's the glory of Alice Ann
Steely blade in her sweaty hand
Over her monthly drag, she caught it by the throat, put it in the bag
Out the window, this defenestrated cycles plunges through the deep
And chalk don't work in the sea
Was the story of Alice Ann
And how she met her grisly end
Ashes and dust have taken up residency
Where her heart should be
True love daydreams and ballgown fantasies
Never came true
And now it's the war of Alice Ann
Fighting for salvation
She's a dying conversation
On a telephone that's off the hook
