Lyrics

[Intro]
Divine intervention in this decaying world
While a hip young dude stood passionately
Succumbing to the he-dog sound
Of the mystifying beat combo that
Breaks down your door
Gonna take you high now, take you real high
[Instrumental]
I'm kickin' down the devil's door
Cheap thrills, baby, know I need some more, yeah
City on fire becoming me
Let's hurry, lover, and fly together
Majestic high and soaring now
Babylon bares her breast again
Time's like quicksand, soon again I'm
Standing naked in
[Chorus]
Wonderland
I feel mistreated, yeah, ow
Wonderland
I feel defeated, but not for long
[Verse 1]
I tear the petals from this sweet narcissus
Crumbles gently in the palm of my hand
What once inviting is dull and binding
Once magnificent has slipped away, yeah
Serpent in my belly, stomach crawlin' now
Wipe the sweat from my furrowed brow
Time's like quicksand, soon again I'm
Standing naked in
[Chorus]
Wonderland
I feel mistreated, yeah
Wonderland
I feel defeated, yeah, but not for long, no
Wonderland
Bound and branded, yeah, on my back
Wonderland
Tired and cheated, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
The divine intervention in this decaying world
While the hip young dude stood passionately
Succumbing to the he-dog sound
You know the sound that breaks down your doors?
Are listening to me now?
The sound of a mystifying beat combo
That's gonna take you higher, baby, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Wonderland
Bound and branded, look out
Wonderland
Tired, tired and cheated
[Outro]
Takin' 'bout the Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Ow, ow, ow
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
Earth, your mother
Heed your brother
[Instrumental]
We're done! (Hahahaha)
