Here Comes Alice Lyrics
She's got something you would love to meet
It's her heart and her heart is black
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack
Hang around it'll get hotter yet
You got the shakes and it's gonne get worse
Don't you know it's all a part of the curse
Suck mud and make a deal for that taste
You got nothing but you're riding on a star
You couldn't guess that she could take you that far
Even though you'd say them every day
Don't let your life be the butt of a joke
Get your lips round a cool black Pepsi Coke
I think Alice is consumerism here. Or more specifically, the "Pepsi Coke" that satisfies for no other real reason than that's what it's advertised to do.
I think "Alice" is just anther name for heroine:
"The heat sticks to summer's heavy sweat Hang around it'll get hotter yet You got the shakes and it's gonne get worse Don't you know it's all a part of the curse
She's got the hit that takes you into space Suck mud and make a deal for that taste You got nothing but you're riding on a star You couldn't guess that she could take you that far"
A friend of mine told me she thinks it's a song about anilingus: "Think of ice cream sliding into a crack [...] Suck mud and make a deal for that taste [...] Don't let your life be the butt of a joke", etc. I still think it's more about heroine.
Alice is slang for LSD.
But the sweat and heat sound more like withdrawal symptoms from something like heroin. And Heroin does come in black tar form.
And Black Tar Heroin is effectively administered as a suppository, it has more impurities and not so good to inject.
