  • You put your hair black in that magic black elastic
    I'm powerless to pony tails who used to do gymnastics and I
    Know you know you wanna dance

    When I watch you smile and try to mask it
    And stir your whiskey with the plastic

    You're pitcher perfect in this light beer
    Never mind the twenty hour flight here

    Alice, Alice
    All my best come ons
    But come on
    You are too far away,

    But everything is better through a camera in Canberra
    Skype is now my lifeline and my email is manna and if
    Airfare weren't so unfair
    I would be in Sydney instantly
    And we'd be Bondai bound

    You have monopolized cute
    But talk about a trivial pursuit

    Alice, alice
    All my best come ons
    But come on
    You are too far away
    Too far, too far away to keep
    Cause everytime I wake up you’re about to go to sleep
    And you say "g'day this is alice leave a message at the beeb"
    Only missing you is pointless when you’re always out of reach
    Besides there’s nothing left to say to you now I just have to hold you
    And we are just as natural a disaster as I told you
    So evacuate, my heart cause inside is total chaos
    And I lose myself when people say your name and I stay lost for a good three days
    A really good three days

    Maybe one day we'll find a way
    Maybe one day we'll find
    But day for me is night for you
    But I'll still say goodnight to you Writer/s: CHUCK RIO, DARWIN MERWAN SMITH
