Ben Folds Five - Alice Childress

Some summers in
the evening after 6 or so
I walk on down the hill
And maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
Sometimes I wish
they lived out here
But they wouldn't dig this town
No they wouldn't dig this town
Try not to think about it,
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Try not to think about it,
Alice Childress
Anymore, no not anymore
Alice, the world is full of
ugly things
That you can't change
Pretend it's not that way
It's my idea of faith
You can blow it off
And say there's good
in nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Now let's give them all a chance
Try not to think about it,
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Try not to think about it,
Alice Childress
Anymore, no not anymore
No it didn't work out
No it didn't work out the way
we thought it would
No it didn't work out
An arranged marriage
is not so good
Thank God it's you
Y'know your timing is impeccable
I'm not fooling you
I don't know what to do
Some dude just knocked me cold
And left me on the sidewalk
Took everything I had
Everything I had
Try not to think about it
Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
It's getting late where you are,
Alice Childress
Anymore, no not anymore
Anymore, no not anymore
