Follow Us to Alice

lyrics

There will be a trial
We've come to melt you into us
You put a hex on us
but the puritans
shall rise again
my friend

Come and follow us to Alice, man
She'd been working as a waitress in the dining car
She was a genius with a hatchet then
but she always had the good sense not to walk home alone
Then she went on an adventure, man
racking up the felonies in a stolen car
Last I heard the cops had shot her down
Two dozen rounds
spun her right around
She was tried as a witch
She put a curse on us
even as she was set aflame

Come and follow us
to the ashes Alice left for us
No she weren't no saint
but that's no excuse
for roasting her like a marshmallow
That wasn't called for at all
