Wish I Could Go
To be free.
The freak that I am-
Could fit right in at the Mad Hatter's tea party.
Actually, that would be pretty fun!
Wish I could go to Underland,
Slay a monster or two,
Throw some cups at the red queen.
Hang out with Alice at the white queen's place.
Maybe I could help Alice save the day.
I'd have a conversation with the pansies,
And help Alice paint the roses white.
I could ask Absolute some questions,
Just to get indirect answers.
I could play hide-and-seek with the smiling cat
What good that'll do me.
I'll look up at the moon and say "Hey,Cheshire!"
And everything will be all right.
Oh! How I wish to go to Underland!
