[Intro] [instrumental, bass ostinato and military snare only] [Psychedelic rock, bolero crescendo, 1960s, haunting female lead] [Verse 1] The looking-glass is honest In a way that isn't kind And the ribbon in your pocket Has a color you can't find Go ask Alice She left the world behind [Verse 2] And if the tea forgets its singing And the cups refuse the steam Tell them the hatter kept one riddle And he takes it in his sleep Call Alice She still answers from the steam [Verse 3] When the roses lose their gardens And the paint is on your sleeve And a quieter kind of hunger Learns the trick of how to leave Go ask Alice She wears it like a leaf [Verse 4] When the sentence starts to mean things And the meaning wants a name And the knight is only metal And the queen is only tame Remember what the Dormouse became Don't say it twice Don't say it twice
