about

The lyric, "I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane" is about my occasional frustration with feeling unseen and unfulfilled musically and emotionally. However wrapped up in a lovely up beat shuffle. I hope it makes you smile and boogie in whatever covid fishbowl you're currently in!

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 cos they'll think I’m strange
I’d dive into their pool when the water’s been drained
but how do you fly if youre 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
If nows the moment when you finally can see me
Why am I flying backward? Am I insane?
I’ll be blooming but you still never see me
Ill be the Alice to your John Coltrane


Can’t meet your parents cos they'll think I’m strange
I’d dive into their pool when the water’s been drained
but how do you fly if youre always afraid
At least you know where you are fallin!

I ’m the bottom of your empty martini
A hummingbird at your windowpane
If nows the moment when finally can see me

Ill be the Alice to your John Coltrane

Ill be the Alice to your John Coltrane
