Goblin Garden

 

 

               Go tell Alice

go tell Alice the white rabbit fell

cracked his skull on a wishing well

drunk one too many of her bottles of pain

go tell her he's to blame! he's to blame!

 

go tell Alice the sky has bled

go tell Alice the caterpillar's dead

high on his hookah his brain has fried

go tell Alice he's died! he's died!

 

Go tell Alice the queen wants her heart

go tell her wonderland's falling apart

splintering and falling to the ground

go tell Alice it's gone! it's gone!

 

go tell Alice her nightmares have come back

the train to nowhere fell off the track

screeching and screaming in the blaze

go tell her it's in flames! it's in flames!

 

go tell Alice she's gotten herself in too deep

cannot wake up, so sleep, so sleep

the Cheshire cat's laughing again

go tell Alice she's insane! she's insane!

            Laura Lee

 

Come rest ye maidens soft and fair

come wander out to sea

for she has stepped into the waves

my sweet Laura Lee.

 

And who are you to weigh my truth

and weight my sorrow's pain?

while I kneel down to kiss the sky

which baptizes me in rain.

 

Come forth ye maidens soft and pale

and dive into the sea

go find my broken-hearted soul

and bring her back to me.

 

A thousand nights I walk these shores

clad in skins of black

I hear the whisper of the wind

'She's never coming back.'

 

Come maidens with your curls

and eyes of summers blue

I've sacrificed maidens ten

and bled them out for you.
