[Verse 1] Listen close and don't be stoned I'll be here in the morning 'Cause I'm just floating Your cigarette still burns Your messed-up world will thrill me Alison, I'm lost [Chorus] "Alison," I said, "We're sinking" There's nothing here but that's okay Outside your room, your sister's spinning But she lies, tells me she's just fine I guess she's out there somewhere [Verse 2] And the sailors, they strike poses TV covered walls End so slowly With your talking and your pills Your messed-up life still thrills me Alison, I'm lost [Chorus] Alison, I'll drink your wine I wear your clothes when we're both high "Alison," I said, "We're sinking" But she laughs and tells me it's just fine I guess she's out there somewhere
