Alice - Joan Armatrading

Alice is acting very, very strange

Face almost perfect

But her mind’s deranged

She’s got a blissful smile

Though a sad exchange for life

Alice expecting a perfect day

Luminous daydreams

Homecoming strays

Alice in wonderland

Acting polite

Is it what she knows

Or what she invites

Alice responding to father’s will

That refuses the lie

Swears she won’t kill

Alice in wonderland

Wondering why

It’s harder to live than it is to die

Alice in wonderland

Acting polite

Is it what she knows

Or what she invites

Alice responding to father’s will

That refuses the lie

Swears she won’t kill
