Alice is being put back into the basket The last thing she saw were pelican wings She’s being shipped off to Africa, Alaska, Antarctica Where all her ideas won’t mean a thing Barrel of monkeys, household deities Ballerina idol figurines Empty harvest, ashen dreams Scapegoat of all mystery Send her to Babylon, Venus, New York Build her a temple for the deported Cause she’ll never be destroyed Just atrociously unemployed While everyone back home On their counterfeit thrones Saturate the seventh day Plagiarizing her decay So keep the lid on tight Say your prayers as you fight Off chaotic thoughts And warnings made in tears As Alice is being put back into the basket We continue bobbing for apples
