Lyrics
Cities are fickle as the people in them
I'm dying to arrive, and then I leave again
I felt so lonely in the maddening crowd
A sad silver lining in the darkest cloud
Can't meet your parents 'cause they'll think I'm strange
I'd dive into their pool when the water's been drained
But how do you fly if you're always afraid
At least you know where you are fallin'
I'm the bottom of your empty martini
A hummingbird at your windowpane
I'll be blooming, but you still never see me
I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
If you could count my crooked crowded teeth
And all the stains buried underneath
There you might find the greatest parts of me
Might not win, but the odds are free
How do you fly if you're always afraid
At least you know where you are fallin'
I'm the bottom of your empty martini
A hummingbird at your windowpane
I'll be blooming, but you still never see me
I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
Can't meet your parents 'cause they'll think I'm strange
I'd dive into their pool when the water's been drained
But how do you fly if you're always afraid
At least you know where you are fallin'
I'm the bottom of your empty martini
A hummingbird at your windowpane
I'll be blooming, but you still never see me
I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
I'm the bottom of your empty martini
A hummingbird at your windowpane
If now's the moment when you finally see me
I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
