Alice took her sister bowling
She liked to eat cornflakes at 3 a.m.
She helped with the Christmas pageant
Hung up the star of Bethlehem
And it shined for her, It shined for everyone
Alice danced with all the lights off
Flirted with the boys in the parking lot
Lay awake instead of dreaming
Got up to fill the coffee pot
And when she went outside, she smiled for everyone
And I'll always wonder
What was in Alice's locket?
Alice walking after school
Alice all alone looking at the sky
Twirling her hair in circles
Following the path of a firefly
As it shined for everyone, with her hand upon her chest, her hand upon her chest
And I'll always wonder
What was in Alice's locket?
Something about confesion
Something about calligraphy
Meeting her behind the building
She cried for everyone
There's a hand in her pocket
Some things open some things don't
Something hard and cold in yielding softness
Leaving an impression
What was in Alice's locket?
What was in Alice's locket?
Alice liked to wath the skaters
She liked to look in a Robin's nest
One day she looked far beyond me
I touch a spot upon my chest
And I'll always wonder
What was in Alice's locket?
