I do not believe that there is ANY girl called "Alice D" at all. With what I know of subliminal lyricism (in advertising & song writing) and slick innuendo and double meanings of song lyrics, I have a 'gut" feeling, especially when I heard the song WITHOUT the lyrics in front of me, that they are referring to the drug "LSD". I believe this so because it is TOO obvious, There is NO "vowel" stress on the A (long vowel) sound rather then it has emphasis on a "short" vowel sound "e" (as in "bed") as opposed to the stress on the supposed "A" as in the word:"Alice": "Alice": "LS" + "D"="LSD"
Plus the following lyrics seem to describe the drug effect ("she sees stars & rocket ships") more so than a young girl enjoying the free frolicking teen years......Nice try, Empire!

Testo della canzone: High and Low
Now we're running in a pack to the place you don't know
And I want you to know that I'll always be around
Down where the summer and the late nights last forever
There's a house on the hill and we can't travel now
[Pre-Chorus:]
Alice D, you’re on your way home, way home, way home
[Chorus:]
I'll be on both sides, babe -- high and low [high and low]
If I had my way, never let you go [never let you go]
I'll be on both sides, babe -- high and low [high and low]
If I had my way, never let you go [never let you go]
Let's get together and forget all the troubles and just float
I don't want you to go, I need to be closer to now
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Alice D is on her way home [all night long]
She's been out all night again [all night long]
She don't want nobody's help now [all night long]
She sees stars and rocket ships [all night long]
[Chorus] [x 2]
