The Streets Fell Into My Window - The Red Paintings

The Streets Fell Into My Window - The Red Paintings
Walls

Alice was considering
(as well as she could
for the hot sun had made her very sleepy
and very stupid)
whether or not the pleasure of making a daisy chain,
would be worth the bother of getting up to pick the daisies.

When suddenly a white rabbit ran straight past her!
Now there was nothing very odd about that!
Nor did she think it out of the ordinary to hear the rabbit say
"Oh dear, I'm going to be late!"
But! When the rabbit suddenly produced a pocketwatch from out of its
Waistcoast pocket, Alice started to her feet!
For it occured to her then...
she had never before seen a rabbit with either a pocketwatch
or the waistcoat, to put it in!

(Sung)
I read that letter, just last week
you were telling me the darkness had taken you
and it had only lasted a week
I don't know where your saviour is...
Check the backroom
He's writing the book that describes the end
as you're passing this life

(Chorus)
Now I see it, it's a doorway
it's a doorway to my love
Now i see it, it's a doorway,
It's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to....

Little mousy,
what did you see?
Hitlers body was a raincheck given to you.
Now you sit and wait with nothing to do.
You're the innocent we're the uncomplained
Loud knocks at the door
As you're holding onto a chest of drawers,
as you're passing this life

The streets came in.
into my window.
Now the war begins my dear, I'll be holding onto nothing.
The streets came in.
Into my window
Now the war begins my dear, as you're passing this life!


Now I see it, it's a doorway
it's a doorway to my love
Now i see it, it's a doorway,
It's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to....


Now I see it....
It's a doorway, it's a doorway to my love!
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway step from above
Now I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to...

(Spoken)
Down, Down, Down
There was nothing to do
So Alice soon began to talk to herself again (the streets came in)
"Oh Dinah!"
(Into my window.. Now the war begins my dear)
"Oh! How i wish you were here with me."
(I'll be holding onto nothing)
"There are no mice in the air."
(The streets came in)
"But you might catch yourself a bat, I s'pose"
(into my window)
"and bats are very like mice."
(now the war begins my dear)
"But.."
(I'll be holding onto nothing)
"Do cats eat bats?
Do cats eat bats?
Do bats eat.. Cats?"

start of song is legendary :D

[emmerson11]

I love Alice in Wonderland and everything about it.

[JapaneseAnkh]

@DeapSilentComplete Please check your history Lewis Carroll had no known daughter, he was celibate, which was why so many thought he preferred younger girls since he did not seemed to be attracted to any his age.

The red painting are finally doing another aussie tour however being a kiwi I would love for them to come to new zealand and the only way to do that is to get this facebook post 1700 "likes". It seems impossible fbdotcom/theredpaintings

[partofdafamily]

@DeapSilentComplete Actually, it was in response to imaginary numbers

[Marein86]

I wish they would produce a reading of the full story in the way they did the intro.

[StrangePierrot]

@DesertVampye Indeed she was not. Carroll was actually quite good with kids and enjoyed entertaining them. Such a kind man.

[DesertVampye]

@DeapSilentComplete The little girl he wrote it for wasn't his daughter. She wasn't at all related to him.

[DeapSilentComplete]

@JapaneseAnkh Lewis carols books "Alice in wonderland" and "threw the looking glass" were written for his daughter. Had nothing to do with drugs or and psychological disorder he was just a good writer.

[JapaneseAnkh]

@StrangePierrot I heard that rumor before (its actually a interesting plot twist really...) He was a hermit and very different, and that time period( and even this time period) did not look kindly at those kind of people.

[StrangePierrot]

@JapaneseAnkh Well for some reason, whenever there's a rumour about a historical character, it's almost always Mister Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). You won't believe this, but someone even once wrote a book claiming he was Jack the Ripper (biggest WTF moment ever). And he actually once met a woman who believed he had went insane. I don't get why everyone needs to say bad things about a man who never hurt anyone.

[JapaneseAnkh]

@StrangePierrot. Thank you! I actually read a biography on Lewis Carroll that helped me come to that conclusion. Apparently Lewis Carroll was a health nut and strangely for that time, did not do any of the narcotics that were popular at the time. He also was completely celibate both for his job and for his own personal convictions. I can't remember what the book was called but I really think it gave the poor man more credit that what was given to him
