Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
It's four in the afternoonI'm on a flight leaving L.A.Trying to think about my lifeMy youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlightsI've made a living with a songGuitar as my companionWanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled childrenWe grow fat on fantasyI guess that's why I'm leavingI crave reality
[Chorus 1:]So goodbye Alice in WonderlandGoodbye yellow brick roadThere is a difference between dreaming and pretendingI did not find paradiseIt was only a reflection of my lonely mind wantingWhat's been missing in my life
[Verse 2:]I'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll clicheI hit the bottom when I reached the topBut I never knew it was you who was breaking my heartI thought you had to love meBut you did not
Yes a heart can hallucinateIf it's completely starved for loveIt can even turn monsters intoAngels from above
You forged my love just like a weaponAnd you turned it against me like a knifeYou broke my last heartstringYou opened up my eyes
[Chorus 2:]So goodbye Alice in WonderlandGoodbye yellow brick roadThere is a difference between dreaming and pretendingThat was not love in your eyesIt was only a reflection of my lonely mind searchingwhat was missing in my life
[Bridge:]Growing up is not an absence of dreamingIt's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can holdAnd the ones that you've been soldAnd Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to lifeBut pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lieForgetting what you areSeeing for what you've been told
[Verse 3:]Ohh truth is stranger than fictionThis is my chance to get it rightAnd life is much better without all of those pretty lies
[Chorus 3:]Ohh So Goodbye Alice in WonderlandAnd you can keep your yellow brick roadThere is a difference between dreaming and pretendingThese are not tears in my eyesThey are only a reflection of my lonely mind findingThey are only a reflection of my lonely mind findingI found what's missing in my life
