Alice, my dear you've lost it again.
Lost your head in WonderLand.
Deary me,
Deary my,
why, oh why WonderLand do you catch her eye?
Lost in time; Lost in space
WonderLand, to me you're a waste of taste.
but maybe I'm MAD and she's SANE
though I still can't understand why she picks this place.
Through the veiled curtain is the world of dreams
behind the stage is a world less seen.
WonderLand is king, shining and the star
while reality is dirty, matted and unclean.
Hiding in the cornor not wanting to be seen.

Now I see Alice exactly what you mean.
WonderLand is more clean, so lets go and make the kingdom mine....I mean ours.

The author's comments:
Alice in wonderland is a book based on profound drug use (or so I'm told) and I just felt she deserved to be seen from another point of view
