   "Arithmetic arithmetock   
   Turn the hands back on the clock   
   How does the ocean rock the boat?   
   How did the razor find my throat?   
   The only strings that hold me here   
   Are tangled up around the pier   
      
   And so a secret kiss   
   Brings madness with the bliss   
   And I will think of this   
   When I'm dead in my grave   
   Set me adrift and I'm lost over there   
   And I must be insane   
   To go skating on your name   
   And by tracing it twice   
   I fell through the ice   
   Of Alice   
   There's only Alice "
