Wonderland
from Songs For The Summer by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Ignoring the crickets
Out in the garden singing:
"Oh, what a beautiful night
A beautiful night
For making music!
Music for people, and…
Music for people, and…"
Listen to the walls quake
They're whispering
But I don't know, I don't know what to say
Feeling as the floor shakes
We're quivering
But I don't know, I don't know what to say
Perfectly happy to watch
As your life dribbles out of the taps
And into the bathtub
Washing your body
In lukewarm intentions, so cold to the touch
It's all in the goosebumps
Written on paper
Tossed in the fire
Painted in pictures
And torn from the frame
Fuck all that shit
That they told you 'bout living
Nothing is real
I'm out of the game
Take me back to Wonderland
Take me back
Skeletons hide in your closet on string
With music and spotlight
They dance and they sing
Puppets and poppies
Princes and paupers
Players in dreams
Where you act as the king
Whispered in public
Screamed all alone
Missed in your lifetime
Then carved on your grave
Flush it away
In your home-made tsunami
Drown all your secrets
'til nothing is saved
Inside, a spark ignites
Between the bones
But I don't know, I don't know what to say
Somewhere a man recites
His vows alone
And I don't know, I don't know what to say
Take me back to Wonderland
Take me back
