whoa oh my
i ran into a lion last night
i screamed and shout with all of my might
and the King said that he was flattered
and oh Alice was right
and Lucy passed out on the couch again last night
the hatter had his way with her all night
and all I heard was violent laughter
and so the cow jumped over the dark side of the moon
ma dont you know that I'll be home soon
ill see you next June
and all your wishes fell off of a shooting star
the ends beckoning that were not so far
from bits of dust and faded scars
and oh awake at night
while shadows creep on through my window I search for light
the devil dances to the school girls plight
and on the chalkboard blood was splattered
and oh a beanstalk too tall
and Dutch boy went and pulled his finger out the wall
we traded porridge for some cheap alcohol
thats paired with sex and murmured chatter
and all your wishes fell off of a shooting star
the ends beckoning that were not so far
from bits of dust and faded scars
and so the cow jumped over the dark side of the moon
ma don't you know that ill be home soon
ill see you next June
