Alice Childress Lyrics by Ben Folds Five

Alice Childress Lyrics

    Some summers in the evening after six or so
    I walk on down the hill and maybe buy a beer
    I think about my friends
    Sometimes I wish they lived out here
    But they wouldn't dig this town
    No they wouldn't dig this town
    Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
    Try not to think about it anymore
    Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
    Anymore, no not anymore

    Alice, the world is full of ugly things, that you can't change
    Pretend it's not that way, it's my idea of faith
    You can blow it off and say there's good in nearly everyone
    Just give them all a chance
    Alice, give them all a chance
    Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
    Try not to think about it anymore
    Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
    Anymore, no not anymore

    No, it didn't work out
    No, it didn't work out the way we thought it would
    No, it didn't work out
    An arranged marriage is not so good

    Thank God it's you
    You know your timing is impeccable
    I'm not fooling you
    I don't know what to do
    Some dude just knocked me cold
    And left me on the sidewalk
    Took everything I had, everything I had

    Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
    Try not to think about it anymore
    It's getting late where you are, Alice Childress
    Anymore, no not anymore
    Anymore, no not anymore
