Alice hides in a door way Of the semi-dark passage, Pressing her back against The door's old wood.
His baritone bark, Her mother's soprano screech, Words reaching beyond Walls hold and depth.
She closes her eyes Against the dimness And half light, To hear more or better.
She has evaded The nanny's search, Ignored the siren's voice, Had hidden and smiled.
The row goes on, Voices higher, Her ears catch at sounds That float her way.
Far off, She hears the nanny's voice Grow more desperate In the morning search.
She misses Her mother's touch and hold, Misses the bedtime Reads and kisses, Instead, The nanny bids her goodnight And shuts out the light With neither kiss or hold Or any caress As her mother gave.
Silence greets her ears; The row has ceased.
The semi-dark Embraces her unkindly, Her closed eyes bring No comfort to her mind.
A bang and slam, The row restarts, Alice opens her eyes To the semi-dark, The vibrating voice Of her father's bark.
A slither of light appears From the passageway beyond, One walks slow Along the carpet's length, Footsteps soft Against the rowing sounds.
The thin maid appears, Stands gawking, Hands red and thin By her narrow sides.
What you doing here? Alice shrugs. Come, the maid says, This is no place For tender ears to wait.
Alice hesitates, Then, taking The proffered hand Walks along the semi-dark, The voices Like the drowned Upon the sea, Then off along The lower regions of the house, Where sounds don't reach So wild, for one such as she, A little child.
Falling asleep Dozing off, The LSD Is getting to me, I tripped and fell Right down a hole, Hit my head Is that a floating pole?! Getting deeper Darker still, I should not have taken that pill.
We're all mad here Because in the rabbit hole No one gets out* Alive

My Alice
With Alice Cooper blasting through the speakers, I turn to my love and tell her how much I love her, She smiles and considers it idle talk We fly through the sky with a pocket of metal around us, What about love makes a man that's hardened in his ways, soft? That makes a man who had once lost all hope, full of it? It's the year 3017 Through my cryo-sleep I never wavered She used to cry to sleep, bad men doing bad things Through the pain was the only way she'd sing I wonder if she could tell how much I favored, Her, a friend and me, pretend Until that fateful day Where it all changed Where it rearranged Where love blossomed into a flower A key that opened doors to happiness To feelings so immaculate I'm free without a shadow of a doubt She looks at me and waves, eyes Innocent ВЂњWhatcha thinkin about? ”

Alice
Fall down, fall down How far does the rabbit hole go? Where are you? where are you? Do you even know?
Too big, then too small You don't belong Shrink some, grow some more Follow that rabbits song
Two steps forward One step back Keep marching on You're on the right track
Don't turn back You've come so far Listen to the hatter We all know who you are
Save our homes And save our souls It's up to you now To defeat the dragons and trolls

Burn, Alice
I see you swim in the dark Looking to have a good time I want to rip out your heart Because that's what you did to mine
So what if I hate you And your plastic face When we eat you Your/'re rotting human waste
