Alice Childress (Rare On Air 3: KCRW Performances, 1997)

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 wouldnt dig this town
No, they wouldnt 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, oh
Alice, the world is full of ugly things
That you cant change
Pretend its not that way
Its my idea of faith
You can blow it off
And say theres good in nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Now lets 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, oh
No, it didnt work out
No, it didnt work out the way we thought it would
No, it didnt work out
(An arranged marriage is not so good)
Thank God its you
You know, your timing is impeccable
And Im not fooling you
I dont know what to do
Some dude just knocked me cold
And left me on the sidewalk
Took everything I had
And everything I had
Try not to think about it, Alice Childress
Try not to think about it anymore
Its getting late where you are, Alice Childress
Anymore
No, not anymore
Anymore
No, not anymore
