(verse 1) We’ve all fallen Through the Looking Glass Everything is upside down It’s all a bunch of nonsense But that’s okay for some, it seems They don’t believe in sense So they elected the Queen of Hearts To govern over the land instead And he’s really good at his one line, “Off with their Head!” (pre-chorus) “Drink me” said the note And everyone got small No one bothered to ask How to go back to being tall… (chorus) Up and down Up and down We’re all just stuck On the Merry-Go-Round Round and Round Round and Round What happened to the solid ground? Drink your tea and smile like the cat That smile that says you know where it’s at Keep smiling ‘til the smile is all that’s seen Pretend this is how it’s always been And ride that carousel again [verse 2] The room must be getting smaller ‘Cause we certainly aren’t getting taller Is there any way of escaping The mess they’ve been making? We’re late, we’re late And all mad as hatters It seems no one remembers what really matters We’re late, we’re late Running headless through the gate Hoping we can change our fate (pre-chorus) “Drink me” said the note And everyone got small No one bothered to ask How to go back to being tall… (chorus) Up and down Up and down We’re all just stuck On the Merry-Go-Round Round and Round Round and Round What happened to the solid ground? Drink your tea and smile like the cat That smile that says you know where it’s at Keep smiling ‘til the smile is all that’s seen Pretend this is how it’s always been And ride that carousel again [bridge] There’s no Alice in the palace No kindness, just malice Put your hand in the bag And draw out a name There you go…..that’s who we blame “Off with their head!” he’ll cry As we choose to believe another lie [verse 3] The caterpillar is taking a toke As the whole land goes up in smoke From the fires we let him start The tea party ended when we all got blended And it’s time to get rid of the Queen of Hearts There’s been a few trials and a few convictions But he just ignores them and we let him It’s so surreal it must be fiction So take a bite of the mushroom It’s time to grow And wave to the rabbit as he watches you go (pre-chorus) “Drink me” said the note And everyone got small No one bothered to ask How to go back to being tall… (final chorus) Up and down Up and down We’re all just stuck On the Merry-Go-Round Round and Round Round and Round What happened to the solid ground? Drink your tea and smile like the cat The smile that says you know where it’s at Keep smiling ‘til the smile is all that’s seen Pretend this is how it’s always been And ride the Alice carousel again
