Alice

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene

She needs you like
she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all

Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She thanks you turns away

She needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all

Today
Today

Alice

Don't give it away
