Lyrics
Well I heard she flew down to the Mountain City
He said, "That's not what I heard...I hear she went higher."
She depended on her friends to tell her when to stop it
To make a statement...this is me talking to you
Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name...call out my name
But I get no answer...she prays...
"Better run for your life!" cried the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back...
To the other side of the mirror...I'm going back..."
Oh no, you cannot tell a gypsy...ooh, that she's no longer a member
Become a deadly weapon now...along with everything else
Oh call my name...
Like Alice through the Looking Glass...
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
but I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from
Each had their own charm...
Buried beneath a solid piece of armour...or a steel plated vest
Some carry a stiletto in their garter along with everything else --
that they carry...Oh, call my name...
Like Alice through the Looking Glass
She used to know who she was
Call out my name (like Alice through the Looking Glass)
But I get no answer (she used to know who she was)
And she prays for the world that she comes from
Alice!...call my name...
"Ooh run for your life..." said the Mad Hatter
"Alright," said Alice..."I'm going back to the other side of the mirror"
This is me talking to you...well this is me talking to ya
Alice...Alice...
