April Fish - Little Alison Lyrics

Alison, you take a bow and marvel at how lucky you are
In the crowd you see yourself from years ago
Cheering you on

She doesn't believe in the audience
Looking 'round, wanting no part in it
Hating that she cant help joining in
Breathing toxic air
Its in her head that the world is all mad, so she must be alert

Alison, you take her hand and wonder how you could ever have been so small
You try to hide emotions from so long ago, mirrored in her face

She doesn't believe that she's capable
Visions of triumph and happiness inundate her senses til she drowns
Suffocating in her seat with eyes bulging madly
She fails to exhale in suspense

With no wings, you'll fall
With no gills, you'll drown
With no medicine, you'll die
But she doesn't seem to try
To set anchor down
Use a safety net
And she threw away the key, deliberately

She doesn't believe in the audience
Looking 'round, wanting no part in it
Hating that she cant help joining in
Breathing toxic air
Its in her head that the world is all mad, so she must be alert

Alison, you take a bow
