[00:00.42]Song Of Alice - Keren Ann
[00:17.29]She was the
[00:18.33]
[00:20.31]The patron saint of 23rd street
[00:22.71]
[00:27.05]She was around for a lot of that
[00:28.84]
[00:29.48]She
[00:29.98]
[00:32.98]Wandering around the hotel hallways in the middle of the night
[00:35.85]
[00:37.78]Carrying a little yellow cardboard box
[00:42.97]
[00:45.64]And she inhabited the place like a butterfly
[00:51.38]
[00:59.56]There was this kind of sadness about her and a
[01:02.03]
[01:03.60]And she did have this light
[01:04.90]
[01:08.84]And nobody ever knew her real name
[01:10.41]
[01:24.61]There was times
[01:25.72]
[01:28.77]I'd see her coming down that street
[01:30.87]
[01:32.36]Stepping through broken bottles and gum
[01:35.90]
[01:36.89]And carrying her shoes barefoot
[01:38.63]
[01:41.68]People said she was crazy
[01:42.91]
[01:51.82]About six months before the fire there was
[01:54.81]
[01:56.37]There was a big blackout
[01:58.36]Famous summer blackout
[02:00.97]
[02:05.18]She walked around through the halls giving everyone candles
[02:07.82]
[02:12.95]Scared everybody away in the end
[02:14.57]
[02:44.29]Then when the fire happened you know
[02:46.00]
[02:49.22]Everybody assumed it was her
[02:50.57]
[03:04.36]There had been fires in the halls that year
[03:06.72]
[03:07.31]Little ones
[03:07.82]
[03:15.96]I dunno if it was fair or not but everybody blamed her for it
[03:21.31]
[03:41.09]And then one day she
[03:42.44]
[03:44.41]She just vanished and later they
[03:49.68]
[03:52.18]Said her name was Alice
[03:53.14]
[03:55.08]All that time I never knew
[03:56.07]
