Alice's House Lyrics
In the house where Alice lives
(Alice's)
it's a mess of souvenirs
there to remind you telling the time
In the garden where you go flowers die
people say it's cold out there
you disagree, she's telling me...
(CHORUS)
Come and spend the day at Alice's House
pass some time away at Alice's House
write a note saying "Please don't go, please don't go"
In the farthest room that you can see
without a key
the butler is serving tea
wearing a shirt without any sleeves
(CHORUS)
in the bedroom down the hall
your secret sleeps
why don't you stay?
In the house where Alice lives
(Alice's)
It's a mess of souvenirs
there to remind you telling the time
(CHORUS)
Alice's house
(Alice's)
it's a mess of souvenirs
there to remind you telling the time
In the garden where you go flowers die
people say it's cold out there
you disagree, she's telling me...
(CHORUS)
Come and spend the day at Alice's House
pass some time away at Alice's House
write a note saying "Please don't go, please don't go"
In the farthest room that you can see
without a key
the butler is serving tea
wearing a shirt without any sleeves
(CHORUS)
in the bedroom down the hall
your secret sleeps
why don't you stay?
In the house where Alice lives
(Alice's)
It's a mess of souvenirs
there to remind you telling the time
(CHORUS)
Alice's house

I understand this song
This is all I could find....
Butler's explanation: "'Alice's House' is an asylum, and it's just a song basically about madness. Where it says, 'in the softest room,' you can take that as a padded cell, and you sing without a key.' Well, I always associate people who are insane as singing way out of tune, plus, you're in a room without a key. 'The butler is serving tea' is just sort of a wild image, and wearing a shirt without any sleeves' is simply a straitjacket. It works on illusions like that."
So, I guess it is about a psycho-ward or something like that.... creepy
I see it as the house of a rich girl into s&m or 80\'s metal where anything goes with lots of drugs
