Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Pass the crystal spread the tarot in illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow, no confusion, no surprise
[Verse 3]
Alice in the party dressed to kill she the thanks you turns away
Needs you like she needs her pills to tell her that the world's okey
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
[Verse 4]
Alice
Don't give it away
No
