Cover art for Neighborhood #2 (Laika) lyrics by Arcade Fire

Well, personally I believe "Alexander" might be the great Alexander Supertrampp, the guy who ditched an unhappy life at home to the rural adventure of Alaska.

"When daddy comes home you always start a fight So the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights"

This is referring to the fights he had with his parents, and perhaps the narrator is his younger sister.
