Alice - Nahko

Alice, Alice, I’m well aware

That there are some strange things where you live

And I won’t go there

Down which hallway and through which door

What’s this wonderland here for?

Turn my cards, queen of hearts says you go there

Busy, busy, busy bees

These humans are such mysteries

Floating around and never knowing what they want

So go forth

Go forth with your morning, dear

With the sun’s arms on your back and the love that you left behind

First of all, it was the year of the boar

And he greeted you with horns on your passenger door

In the middle of traffic, on the morning of our full moon

Fleeing into the coffee fields

I’m dragging goats tied to my heels

My friend is coming

And he means to reckon with me

Favor his hands, blackened by fire

Favor our tempers and boyish desires

There’s a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep

Caught in the flow, I just did what I do

I worked with my karma and overtime too

There’s a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep

I am no coward

You’re superhuman

Tapped into power

Oh, the load is heavy

Will you be ready?

When the giants come

I will be there

«You'll get yours»

Came out of my mouth

To the man who bound my hands

I began to scream and I began to shout

Sir, I know I’ve done many terrible things

And I’m concerned to finally find me in my dreams

Such bad behavior, I am not the same

I meet all my rage disguised as a man

An angel appeared with briefcase in hand

Didn’t speak when he reached, he just held me like you hold someone you love

Cradled, I wept right out of my slumber

Write it down, this is what I remember

There’s a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep

I am no coward

You’re superhuman

Tapped into power

Oh, the load is heavy

Will you be ready?

When the giants come

I will be there

I will be there

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

I will be there

I will be there when the giants come

Alice, Alice I’m well aware

There are some strange things where you live

And I have been there
