To Be Alice
Could I design colours to match my thoughts
Make sea lions yellow or purple a horse?
Could I taste blue instead of having to feel
Could I listen to nothing
Watch the invisible appear?
Just like Alice through the Looking glass fell
I tumble and stumble
Falling fast down the well
Mad hatter's tea party, look there's my purple horse
Enjoying, discussing, with sea lions, of cause
The hour glass changed shape
Time's running in
'Roll up, roll up, it's time to begin'
Carnival capers, roller coaster ride
Flipping my stomach, feel queasy inside
I wish I was Alice
Her world, all be it bizarre
Is the way she designed it
Down to each shooting star
