lyrics

It was a lonely sight, you stepped away from me. A cigarette in your hand, lit by sympathy.

You said it’s not the same, your feelings had changed. You tipped your hat and called it at day.

And Mr. wanderlust, the rabbit covered in dust, barely made it to his meeting in one piece.

“Her name was Alice” he said, with a tone of regret. “I gave her love and she ran away with it”.

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.

And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it’s in the wild I’ll live my last days out.

If it’s all the same to you, yeah it’s all the same to you. You know it’s same to me, I’ll go alone.

I set up camp to stop and stare. My telescope pointed like a rifle in the air.

I could only hope that kaleidoscopes are the key to the speed of light.

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.

And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it’s in the wild I’ll live my last days out.

If it’s all the same to you, yeah it’s all the same to you. You know it’s same to me, I’ll go back home.

The hatter asked the man with one eye made of glass how Alice managed to escape with his heart.

The Rabbit spoke, with a lump inside his throat “sometimes your only road is a giant leap of faith.”

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.

And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it’s in the wild we’ll live our last days out.

If it’s all the same to you, yeah it’s all the same to you. You know it’s same to me, we’ll go home.

If it’s all the same to you, yeah it’s all the same to you. You know it’s same to me, we’ll go home.
