Cover art for Watching Alice lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Uh, I don't it's about Alice Liddell.

''Her hair falls down her breast''

Alice had short hair, and didn't have any breasts (she was a child at the time Lewis Carroll was supposedly in love with her).

She was also pale white, so her body wasn't golden brown.

I agree with you. By the way, zippers were not invented until 1913, and Alice Liddell was born in 1852. Nick Cave would not have slipped such a mistake. My guess, she's a girl in some catholic boarding school or such.
