Alexandra

[Verse 1]
Come Monday morning
You may find me dead
You may not find my body
But you may find my head
In a motel closet
Or under a motel bed
Oh, this is the life that I lead

[Verse 2]
And you will say, "I saw it coming
It was only a matter of time
The way you dressed
You must have really wanted to die
They set fire to people like you
Just for looking them in the eye
Oh, this is the life they chose to lead"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I don’t care
What people do
I just want you to see me
You don’t have to love me too

[Chorus 1]
Alexandra, little sister
I’m holding onto you

[Verse 3]
Well, you see, Mother’s catatonic
She hides inside her mind
She thinks the devil has visited her
In her bedroom once or twice
How else could she explain
Why I am going to hell?
Oh, I must be under something else’s spell

[Verse 4]
And my father’s got his bayonet
He’s calling up his friends
He says, "Once you dishonour us
That’s where my patience ends"
And your message ends with: "Watch your back
You’ve really done it now
Oh, I hope you’re staying very far from town"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I never hurt anyone
If you don’t count me
I’ve got a big hole in my heart
And spent a year just watching it bleed

[Chorus 2]
Alexandra, little sister
Tell me, what do you think about me?

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well, I live in the city
I never come to the country
But I'd risk my life
If you would only ask me to

[Chorus 3]
Alexandra, little sister
I’d risk my life for you
