Advice from a Caterpillar - Temperance

She thought it was an afternoon

Just alike the other notes

Weary in the grass she laid

Picking daisies under the sun

She sat down on the grass

The she peeped into a book

And the weather was so hot

She was getting bored, oh yeah

A rabbit with pink eyes

Started running close by her

Shortly after she heard it saying

«Oh, dear!

I shall be too late!»

(I shall be too late)

She realized

That it could actually talk

But the oddest thing it was

It was staring at its clock

«And so now the tale is done

And home we steer, a merry crew

Beneath the setting sun.»

Pilgrims plucked in a far-off land

Shrinking and then growing tall

Trying to find her way back home

Nothing there seemed to be clear

So she drowned in a pool of tears

«And so now the tale is done

And home we steer, a merry crew

All beneath the setting sun.»

Pilgrims plucked in a far-off land

«Follow me!

Wake up!

Why?

We are all mad here!

Follow me!

Wake up!

Why?

We are all mad here!

Follow me!

Wake up!

Why?

We are all mad here!»

A duchess, a hatter

A grinning Cheshire cat

The mushroom that I ate

Will make me shrink or grow?

The queen keeps on saying

«Off, off with her head»

The frog and the fish-footman

Don’t want me to come in

La-la-la…

La-la-la…

La-la-la…

La-la-la…

La-la-la…

La-la-la…

I cannot find my way home

I am exploring this strange, odd world

The blue caterpillar asked who am I

But I don’t know, don’t know no more…

«…Begin at the beginning…

…And go on until you go to the end…»

«Wake up, oh Alice dear!

What a long sleep you had»

«I've had a curious dream

I’m gonna tell you right now

Tell you right now

A duchess, a rat and

A grinning Cheshire cat…»

«And so now the tale is done

And home we steer, a merry crew

All beneath the setting sun.»
