White Rabbit Lyrics
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

Apparently, it's obvious what this song is about.
YAY! I'm the first to comment on this song! I discovered this song watching Queer as Folk. It's an awesome song.
Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Oh, and Alice in wonderland. haha
i think on the surface it's definitely about drugs or is often inferred that way. however if you look beyond that there are a few metaphors underneath. the first thing i can think of is that the song is rooted with the story of alice in wonderland; which involves many things. it involves the power of imagination, being free, realizing who you are, and the fight against blind beliefs and greedy, cruel authority. you have to step out the boundaries and be on the outside looking in to see more clearly. like in dead poets society "you have to see from different point of view or angles.
of course, that's always dangerous and that's the vibe i always get from this song. it's edgy and willing to be whimsy and different.
the spc eco remix is my life
