Shinedown
Her Name is Alice
[Intro (Spoken)]
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't
[Verse 1]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
[Pre-Chorus 1]
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows...
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now 'Off With Her Head', I fear, is everyone's concern
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning for you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
This kingdom, good riddance
Her freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning
[Bridge]
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
She's unlocked the meaning for you
[Outro (Spoken)]
And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be, it would, you see?
