Sally called
when she got the word
She said
I suppose you've heard
About Alice
Well I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
But I could hardly
believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive
Oh I don't know why
she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for twenty four years
I've been living
next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I'm feeling
maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not
living next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Grew up together
Two kids in the park
Carved our initials
Deep in the bark
Me and Alice
Now she walks through
the door
With her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eye
As a big limousine
pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive
Oh I don't know
why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for twenty four years
I've been living
next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I'm feeling
maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not
living next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Sally called back
asked how I felt
She said
I know how to help
Get over Alice
She said
Now Alice is gone
But I'm still here
You know I've been waiting
For twenty four years
And the big
limousine disappeared
I don't know why
she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for twenty four years
I've been living
next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel
and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get
used to not
living next door to Alice
Alice who the fuck is Alice
Now I'll never get
used to not
living next door to Alice
