The colors change
It's a kaleidoscope down here, but I'm the one who spins the wheel
It's a quarter to 3 and it always will be
Is it the witching hour or time for tea?
There's a riddle here
Hidden in the pillow stuffing
Ring around the watch
Can't you see the time's not running?
You think you've seen it all
The smiles, the rope, the light
But here in this guitar
The darkest secret hides
It's a kaleidoscope down here, but I'm the one who spins the wheel
The hare-brained march to madness
Has finally reached my door
Are you a mouse or a man?
The Hatter's here to roar
Oh you never know
Which way your knight will go
Your world's square on the board.
Just a square on the board.
Are you a pawn or a king?
The Hatter's keeping score
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
And then she said, "He's murdering the time! And I've been running ever since."
I'm not here to save you
I'm just trying to keep my head
This Queen is out for blood
Like that book you've always read
Keep pouring out your heart
In a song to raise the dead
It's a quarter to 3 and it always will be
Is it the witching hour or time for tea?
There's a riddle here
Hidden in the pillow stuffing
Ring around the watch
Can't you see the time's not running?
It's a kaleidoscope down here, but I'm the one who spins the wheel
