lyrics

We Can’t Ask Alice (Quinn-Bryden)

Little girl you’re not prepared
Leave your curiosity behind
Don’t search the fabrics of your mind
What is it you want to find?
You may find it blows your mind.

We can’t ask Alice. (2X)
It’s so unkind, no reason or rhyme
Soon you will find it blows your mind
It blows your mind

What will be one mindless trip
You may just get lost inside
Just think before you drop this time
Reality has been so kind - you may find
It blows your mind.

Now she doesn’t speak or make a sound
Her feet are five feet off the ground
Her fantasies spoiled all her facts
Now no one knows when she’ll be back
Back on track - she blew her mind.

A reasonably old fan of the AMT lot, have listened to a lot of their albums over the years and seen them 2-3 times live. One of the greatest psychedelic bands I have had the pleasure to see live and meet too! Anyway about this album, I love the remakings of dark star blues and blue velvet blues, the vocals work so well! IF you are into these guys highly recommend Ozric Tentacles as Ed's playing is on par with Makoto's (both very psychedelic). One of the best in the AMT catalogue in my opinion! atmosphere012
