So what was it they said?
About sanity?
Sleeping and dreaming
Are not the same
There are deepening worlds below
They fester and putrefy the mind
One should hold on to their head
Before the poison threads
The grinning moon hangs above
Signposts point south and west
Oh, we are quite lost now
In a thickening fog
Of Blue smokey clouds
In a land full of wonder
The flowers have faces
They warn you of the mushrooms
3 cm is a perfect height
Only, that’s what the caterpillar said
Teacups are half empty
(The rabbit half mad)
A concoction of characters
Yellow haired girl
Blue striped dress
Painting roses white and red
Together make a pinky hue
The deck of cards spill onto the grass
Queen of Hearts, Ten of Cups
The sky a black mile away
Through doors the size of mice (door mice)
A hole of mirrors and pianos
Lead you home
So what was it they said about sanity?
Murder mutiny malice…
No, Carroll sang of
The beauty in madness instead!
