Ruby Red Slippers On Alice's Feet

I’m not hungry in the sense for your attention
I want something only you can fix
It involves a tea bag and something only you can mention
So close your eyes to the blinding light
That comes from knowing too much
About the time when we broke loose

I’m not hungry so as to listen to your words
Because that’s just a form of suicide
All that can be mended needs to be broken first
Just give this ring time to abide
And you’ll finish the test that's been
Holding you hostage since the last verse

Take this twisted smile
And use it as your own
Break this twisted smile
We’re walking home alone
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tomorrow night

We can only go so far if we don’t have a purpose
It’s the end of the story so lets drive out what’s worthless
You can have everything you want
If you give out what you loaned
Its only fair if you can’t have it all the time
Because that just a still frame for us to follow

We can only go so far if we have a way to travel
The roads have been freshly paved and washed for yours truly
It’s only the mystery that can begin to unravel
The subject in the context or the table of contents
So here’s to the people who don’t pay attention
Because they don’t know what its worth trying for

Take this twisted smile
And us it as your own
Break this twisted smile
We’re walking home alone
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tomorrow night

Hurry up, this clock is ticking faster then you know
The sound is ringing in my ears
It’s letting itself be shown just how terrible it can be
As we go down to the sidewalk and stare at the moon
Just long enough to get the answers and let it be free
Free to fall and free to crawl is what we wish for

Hurry up, it’s the sound of tea bags and suicide
Ringing out of the speakers to sing you to sleep
Press play and hit the rewind to soak up the message
I am only saying this so we can get back to work
And you can keep your precious smile
And I’ll keep singing this so I can pass the test

Take this twisted smile
And us it as your own
Break this twisted smile
We’re walking home alone
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tomorrow night
