Alice Down the Rabbit Hole

With enlightenment, not inhalation, drawn from Jefferson Airplane's (Starship) 'White Rabbit.' written by Grace Slick Don't be suckered into that fairytale with the Cheshire Cat's grin and tail He'll lure you in and leave you frail To weep and wail To weep and wail If you're in the Red Queen's palace Don't sip from a golden chalice Her evil thoughts reek of malice Go ask Alice Go ask Alice Don't chase white rabbits down a hole Deep descent will devour your soul It's time to wake and take control Don't pay the toll Don't pay the toll I seriously warned to Go Ask Alice, exactly what you'd find down a rabbit hole. I said its depth would devour your soul If you ignore this advice, your life will be cursedly confined You can't break free of the warden's warren. He's in control Another prisoner of addiction, like those in a California hotel that alluring house with a thousand mirrored-ceiling rooms You can sign in, but you can't leave; you'll be captive of a spell Ask Alice. She's trippin' down the hole, smokin' her shrooms If you continue your journey down that dark desert highway You'll be greeted with pink champagne when you first arrive then taken into a dark maze inside. If you're invited to stay kill the beast and you'll be released, if you want to survive Lewis Carroll's tale is a fable; a dark satire written in allegory "How long is forever, Rabbit?" was the question, just for fun Alice answered on the run, "Sometimes it's just one second." Profound that those words reveal the bitter moral of the story - You can't tell seconds from years, once the hare has beckoned
