[Intro – whispered over rising arpeggiator] Follow the signal... Follow the glow... You know you shouldn't— but down you go... [Verse 1] One little question at a quarter to two One little link saying "this might interest you" White rabbit flashing on a midnight screen Running through places you have never seen Hesitant click, then opening it wide, Another strange world waiting inside Feeling younger as the clocks run backwards Looking for answers while falling deeper... [Pre-Chorus] One tab, then two... Three tabs become twenty-five No map, no signs Just one more turn and you'll know why [Chorus] Down, down, down the rabbit hole Neon wonderland, losing control Round, round, round, where does it go? Every answer says there's more to know Down, down, down the rabbit hole Chasing that rabbit wherever he goes It's 4 A.M. but who's keeping score? You found what you wanted— before wanting more [Post-Chorus – chopped vocal] More... more... more... Just one more... More... more... more... Just one more door... [Verse 2] A roomful of players wave you in Everyone greets you with a crooked grin Truth on the table, dressed in disguise Everybody's selling a different set of lies Someone is shouting, "You've got it all wrong!" Half of these voices say you don't belong Follow the footnotes, follow the trail One leads to another, then off the rails [Pre-Chorus] Stop signs, green lights Wrong turns somehow feel so right No sleep tonight The rabbit disappeared from sight [Chorus] Down, down, down the rabbit hole Neon wonderland, losing control Round, round, round, where does it go? Every answer says there's more to know Down, down, down the rabbit hole Chasing that rabbit wherever he goes It's 4 A.M. but who's keeping score? You found what you wanted— before wanting more [Instrumental – pulsing bass, bright arpeggiator, gated drums] [Bridge – dreamy, half-time] Pulled this way... Twisted that way... Turn the whole world inside out Ask... Tell... What was the question anyhow? The full moon hangs in the sky A glowing smile with no reply You swear you're leaving after this— Then a voice in your head says... [Whispered] "What if...?" [Final Chorus – bigger, euphoric] Down, down, down the rabbit hole Neon wonderland swallowed you whole Round, round, round, nowhere to go Every answer says there's more to know Down, down, down the rabbit hole Maybe you never wanted control Sun's coming up through the bedroom door You found what you wanted— and a thousand things more [Outro – arpeggiator fading] Just one more click... Just one more door... Just one more question... [Whispered] What were you looking for? Lyrics by John Polka.
