Oh, Alice
Alice, oh, Alice why did you leave
You told us stories you seem to believe
The caterpillar's lies, from which you had to feed
The Mad Hatter broke your tongue with tasteless tea
Alice, oh, Alice why are you easy to deceive
You told us the things of which you've seen
The looking glass blurred your sight of what to achieve
The misleading labels gave you false release
Alice, oh Alice why are you so naïve
You told us of the Wonderland you so highly deem
The White Rabbit's watch you had to retrieve
The friends you met were only thieves
Alice, oh, Alice why can't you see
You told us of the dangers you misconceived
The White Rabbit took you to meet the Queen
The Cheshire Cat's real grin remained forever unseen
Alice, oh, Alice why do you grieve
You told us of your love for the land so pristine
The Red Roses you painted had a dangerous fee
The Red Queen's price, your head and heart on her sleeve
