Alexander

Intro: (2x) verse 1 Getting high at a quarter to nine And you throwing all your favourite lines And that red-head said he's living with you And he copies everything you do... And you throw your California smile And you warn me this could take a while So while you think of something to do I'm thinking I could stick with you Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander You've made up a name for yourself Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander You've made up a name for yourself Interlude verse 2 In a town at the edge of the Nile I can see that California smile There's a boat with your name on the side And it waits for the turn of the tide In between your Casino and mine I can see that there's a delicate line And I can't tell our voices apart And I can't tell your life from art You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander You've made up a name for yourself Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander You're still sitting there on the shelf...
