Alice Is Bleeding

about

I later recorded a different version of this song, which appeared on the Loop Distro comp and then on an album I released as Jessica Whiskey in 2004. I suppose you could consider this the demo version, but in retrospect I like this one better. It's rawer.

lyrics

Alice is bleeding
She's down on her knees
And the moon is a skull in the sky

Always crying and pleading
To the bats on the ceiling
And the wind with the sound of a sigh

Her bottle always hears her
Loud and clear
Shards in the weeds, and the falling red leaves
When the moon is a skull in the sky
And her heart is all run dry

Alice is bleeding, like lipstick on a cigarette
Alice is pleading to the ghosts rustling the leaves
Screaming by train tracks
And the moon is a skull in the sky

Pulling up the dark roots of Americana, she tells the stories of what happens after the train is hopped and the whiskey drank. She is skinned knees and dirt under your nails, the night you fell in love and the morning your heart was broken, 3am and another bottle of wine - or beer. ... more
