On the 13th of August, Jenny Hval shared an image of herself on twitter, with the accompanying caption; “a new song is out today – High Alice. This one is a labyrinth. Link on the internet. Suggested reading list: Clarice Lispector.”
[Verse 1]
Alice lost, she took a long rest in an unknown place
She thought, "Where do all these creatures come from?
And why are they here?"
Like in a club of fur
Strange feeling, strange feeling
[Refrain]
They must be drawn to something
They must be drawn to something
She reaches back through centuries of arms
She reaches back through centuries of arms
[Verse 2]
While hare and fox and doe and deer
Are all trying to find her
They're all trying to find her
Let her sketch out her rabbit hole
Her pleasure dome
[Refrain]
Through centuries, through centuries
Through centuries, through centuries
Through centuries of art, of being drawn to something
[Chorus]
They must be drawn to something
Creatures keep swimming around her
She must be giving them something
Those that sleep in the grass and trees
Something that would be better
And I have something better
I want something better
We all want something better
We are something better
To get us close
[Verse 3]
The beautiful queen, the beautiful clock
The ocean, the ocean, the ocean
Where I wrote my first poem
With my hand on my skin
With my hand between my thighs
[Chorus]
I must be drawn to something
A thin layer of wax
I must be giving them something
She [?]
Something that would be better
And I, I want something better
I want something better
We all want something better
We all want something better
We all want something better
We are high, Alice
We all want something better
We, we are something better
We all want something better
Alice, Alice, Alice
