Silent Greetings - Meanwhile in Wonderland Lyrics

She was glooming over the pages
Too wise to be read
She breathed in the lazy summer air
And coughed out the smoke of a cigarette
Then she let her thoughts slip away
To the shop on the corner of the street
And her cheeks went red...
Then she whispered the name
And flipped her page

Meanwhile, he tripped over a sign
Stating that ALL OF THE BOOKS HAVE BEEN SOLD
He stood up and cursed, then kicked out the door
Of a shop at the end of the road
A card in his hand was all that was left
From his land, he took out the phone...
And told her in a miserable tone:
"We've been robbed again."

Meanwhile Don Juan was sitting and watching
The sun going down
He frowned as he puffed out the smoke
Then swallowed the rest of his wine
Sweet taste of the times, when he was the one
Seemed suddenly bitter in a glittering light of her hair...
"Love isn't fair," he said, 'cause she kept on reading

Meanwhile a man started his car and drove away with his prey
Meanwhile another man finally found a fine place to stay
Meanwhile a swallow swallowed a fly, then flew back to its nest
Meanwhile in Wonderland you and I stayed for another game of chess...
