S.J. Tucker - Cheshire kitten (we’re all mad here) lyrics
[S.J. Tucker - Cheshire kitten we’re all mad here lyrics]
I grew up seeing things a little differently
Appearing disappearing, hardly innocent, nor
Tied down to the ground
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches
Glory in my stripes and spots
Walk by invisible and never make a sound
But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
Tender is the heart you never see
Hard and fast shines the grin that we flash
But there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
Is not for me, my friend
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
That we're all mad here and it's okay
Sun up, sun down the shadows hide me down in
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way
But, if you find it in your dreams, you can
Find it at your dayjob
Somewhere south of Hell
Take the path to left or right with
Just your gut to guide you
The story is not for anyone else to tell
Go down the rabbit hole and
Out the other side
You can't go home in the middle of the
Magic carpet ride
You gotta greet the sun before his
Lovely daughter moon
You can't forsake the journey for the
Safety of your room
Until you learn your lesson well
I have learned to see and hear
Everybody loud and clear
But the truth comes out in riddles that are
Safe enough to share
That's how it is in songs, you see
And stripes always look good on me
Whether or not I'm really there
(smile hangs in the air)
But heavy is the burden of the wise ones
When no one understands a word they say
The Jabberwock never bothered anyone
But nobody believes him to this day
And why should they?
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
We're all mad here and it's ok
Sun up, sun down the shadows find me out in
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way
But, if you find it in your dreams
You can find it at your dayjob
Somewhere south of Hell
Take the path to left or right with
Just your gut to guide you
The story's not for anyone else to tell
You gotta go down the rabbit hole and
Out the other side
You can't go home in the middle of the
Magic carpet ride
You gotta greet the sun before his
Lovely daughter moon
You can't forsake the journey for the
Safety of your room
Until you learn your lesson well
Is it the stripes or the spots you see?
Was it hearts or diamonds, baby
Led you here to me?
Darling, you know better than to
Trust a pack of cards! What have we learned
The world is never as mad as it could be
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
We're all mad here and it's ok!
Appearing disappearing, hardly innocent, nor
Tied down to the ground
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches
Glory in my stripes and spots
Walk by invisible and never make a sound
But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
Tender is the heart you never see
Hard and fast shines the grin that we flash
But there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
Is not for me, my friend
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
That we're all mad here and it's okay
Sun up, sun down the shadows hide me down in
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way
But, if you find it in your dreams, you can
Find it at your dayjob
Somewhere south of Hell
Take the path to left or right with
Just your gut to guide you
The story is not for anyone else to tell
