for the hot sun had made her very sleepy
whether or not the pleasure of making a daisy chain,
would be worth the bother of getting up to pick the daisies.
When suddenly a white rabbit ran straight past her!
Now there was nothing very odd about that!
Nor did she think it out of the ordinary to hear the rabbit say
"Oh dear, I'm going to be late!"
But! When the rabbit suddenly produced a pocketwatch from out of its
Waistcoast pocket, Alice started to her feet!
For it occured to her then...
she had never before seen a rabbit with either a pocketwatch
or the waistcoat, to put it in!
I read that letter, just last week
you were telling me the darkness had taken you
and it had only lasted a week
I don't know where your saviour is...
He's writing the book that describes the end
as you're passing this life
Now I see it, it's a doorway
it's a doorway to my love
Now i see it, it's a doorway,
It's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to....
Hitlers body was a raincheck given to you.
Now you sit and wait with nothing to do.
You're the innocent we're the uncomplained
As you're holding onto a chest of drawers,
as you're passing this life
Now the war begins my dear, I'll be holding onto nothing.
Now the war begins my dear, as you're passing this life!
Now I see it, it's a doorway
it's a doorway to my love
Now i see it, it's a doorway,
It's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to....
It's a doorway, it's a doorway to my love!
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to...
So Alice soon began to talk to herself again (the streets came in)
(Into my window.. Now the war begins my dear)
"Oh! How i wish you were here with me."
(I'll be holding onto nothing)
"There are no mice in the air."
"But you might catch yourself a bat, I s'pose"
"and bats are very like mice."
(now the war begins my dear)
(I'll be holding onto nothing)
