Wonderland's Broken Dream

Alice, you said you ran from the Red Queen
 We all thought it was a bad dream
 Chasing rabbits into holes
 Alice, bunnies don't wear clothes
 Now the tea's gone cold
 There's nothing left for them to hold
 Time seems to move so slow
 Alice, some day you'll have to grow
 You can't depend on pretend imaginary friends
 You've got to let it go
 Alice, you said you faced the Red Queen
 Tried to revive such a dead scene
 Eating all those strangers' treats
 Alice, shouldn't you be asleep?
 Alice, I saw you battle with the Red Queen
 Portrayed on a grainy big screen
 Stylistically unreal
 Alice, you've got marketing appeal
 Now the tea's gone cold
 There's nothing left for them to hold
 Time seems to move so slow
 Alice, some day you'll have to grow
 You can't depend on pretend imaginary friends
 You've got to let it go
 Alice, we once won over the Red Queen
 Long before you were just a wet dream
 Mirrored ceilings and brass poles
 Alice, put back on your clothes
 Alice, they thought that you'd be the Blue Queen
 A second chance for a new dream
 But your old dress is word to threads
 Alice, your apron's lost under the bed
 Best not to talk about it
 Keep quiet, baby, don't tout it
 No one will understand what you mean
 A princess not bound to be a queen
 But to tell you the truth
 I wish they were right about you
 Now the tea's gone cold
 Every single hat been sold
 And time has to move on
 Alice, someday you'll be too old
 (Old enough to know better
 Too old to make believe
 Hold tight to the memories
 Of your fantasies
 But grow up)
 The cat's smile's all cavities
 The caterpillar has lung disease
 Aww, you've got to let it go
