alice

		Alice pressed against the wall
		so she can see the door
		in case the laughing strangers crawl and
		crush the petals on the floor

		Alice in her party dress
		she thanks you kindly
		so serene
		she needs you like she needs her tranqs
		to tell her that the world is clean
		to promise her a definition
		tell her where the rain will fall
		tell her where the sun shines bright
		and tell her she can have it all
		today
		today

		pass the crystal spread the Tarot
		in illusion comfort lies
		the safest way the straight and narrow
		no confusion no surprise

		Alice in her party dressed to kill
		she the thanks you turns away
		she needs you like she needs needs her pills
		to tell her that the world's okay
		to promise her a definition
		tell her where the rain will fall
		tell her where the sun shines bright
		and tell her she can have it all
		today
		today

		Alice
		don't give it way
