Alice
Tom Frager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
rien, le cur rempli d'amertume, je versais du whisky dans mon chagrin.
oh dans mon chagrin, dans mon chagrin en vain.
En vain!
Je déambule dans la musique entre les notes et les bulles magiques.
Alice, me donne un sourire et je ne sais que le retenir et malicieusement
elle me fait gouter un peu au pays des merveilles.
et je la laisse faire.
Je n'ai pas fais de calcul, pas prévu de plan infaillible
aucune stratégie ridicule, pour que la soirée vacille.
Mais quand Alice Me donne un sourire je ne sais que le retenir et malicieusement
elle me fait gouter un peu au pays des merveilles.
Alice sourit encore, et je glisse dans son décore éphémère
et je la laisse faire...

When she smiles at him, he feels like he's tasted a little bit of wonderland. He speaks of how she takes him away from reality and into her world. He doesn't plan or strategize how the night will go, but he's happy to go along wherever Alice takes him.
