Red fez, bone pipe
burning oil in the fading light
She reads of Alexandria
Velvet boots, soldier's cape
the whiskey offers no escape
She dreams of Alexandria
Alexandria
Belladonna blue green eyes
Carrying her away
So close yet so far
Lit up by the desert skies
She'll find it someday
Tall, wise, wild and free
the sort of whom she longs to be
Living in Alexandria
inexperienced and seventeen
her little world can be so mean
Oh for Alexandria
~Chorus~
Airport, charter flight
Say goodbye to the suburban night
She's off to Alexandria
Packs her bags cuts her ties
hides her fear while her mother cries
Alexandria
