Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
that you were not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you are loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I'll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
'cause I can't stand to see you this way.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.

You're such a beautiful junkie You're a beautiful mess
With your black eyeliner and your new sundress
Everybody loves you you've got so many friends
They let you play the victim and you like to pretend

It's always such a tragedy when you're too high to come down
Now allison is 6 feet under ground

It's the same old story heard it all before
Yeah you start with a little then a little bit more
Your mother never loved you well that's such a shame
Now you spend your life trying to place the blame

It's always such a tragedy when You're too high to come down
Now allison is 6 feet under ground
Oh baby I told you so
