Whatever Happened, Alice?

[Intro]
Back through the looking glass, the landing wasn't soft

Just a quiet parlor, dust motes in the loft

The colors here seem faded, the logic is a bore

After seeing painted roses, the real world is a chore.

[Pre-Chorus]

And you gotta ask the question, what was she looking for?

When she followed that white rabbit and tumbled through the door

Was she chasing down a future? Escaping from the past?

In a world of make-believe that was never built to last...

[Chorus]

Oh, whatever happened to Alice?

Did she keep her palace in the sky?

Or trade the talking flowers for the hours drifting by?

Did she ever find her balance?

Or lose it to the sigh of wondering

whatever happened to Alice

in Wonderland?

Whatever happened to Alice?

[Bridge]

So was she wise and magical, a hero of the tale?

Or a mind that saw too much behind a fragile veil?

[Outro]

(Whatever happened to Alice?)

Alice...
