Alice In Wonderland Lyrics
-1-
When Alice has an answer it's a common rationality
She measures her phrases, tipping the scales of reality
But does she know that it's cold to sing songs to a troubled heart
Tho' her aim is sincere she's missing the mark
CHORUS:
She paints her world in yellow and green, covering over the greys
'Cause life's demands are hard to understand
So Alice stays lost in her wonderland
-2-
I said - Alice look around you, people are falling to pieces
Yea, even the faithful, the ones who still believe in Jesus
But that doesn't mean they've fallen from grace
But in her landscape, their heartache is so out of place
(Chorus)
So can we talk of shoes and of ships?
Can we talk of cabbages and kings?
And of learning to live with the mystery of things
(Chorus)
So Alice stays lost in her Wonderland
When Alice has an answer it's a common rationality
She measures her phrases, tipping the scales of reality
But does she know that it's cold to sing songs to a troubled heart
Tho' her aim is sincere she's missing the mark
She paints her world in yellow and green, covering over the greys
'Cause life's demands are hard to understand
So Alice stays lost in her wonderland
I said - Alice look around you, people are falling to pieces
Yea, even the faithful, the ones who still believe in Jesus
But that doesn't mean they've fallen from grace
But in her landscape, their heartache is so out of place
Can we talk of cabbages and kings?
And of learning to live with the mystery of things

Alice is a sweet, clueless girl who wears rose colored glasses and believes that she is helping, by always responding cheerfully. She doesn't understand that this makes the downhearted feel even worse. The singer is trying to get her to wake up and see that people are falling to pieces, and that they have not fallen from grace. They are just sad, and what they need is understanding, not cheery, rational phrases, that only make them feel like they will never measure up. Alice needs to acknowledge those grays and stop trying to cover them over with sunny colors.
