The Red Paintings - Streets Fell Into My Window Lyrics
(Spoken)Alice was considering(as well as she couldfor the hot sun had made her very sleepyand 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 itsWaistcoast pocket, Alice started to her feet!For it occured to her then...she had never before seen a rabbit with either a pocketwatchor the waistcoat, to put it in!(Sung)I read that letter, just last weekyou were telling me the darkness had taken youand it had only lasted a weekI don't know where your saviour is...Check the backroomHe's writing the book that describes the endas you're passing this life(Chorus)Now I see it, it's a doorwayit's a doorway to my loveNow i see it, it's a doorway,It's a doorway step from aboveNow 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 uncomplainedLoud knocks at the doorAs you're holding onto a chest of drawers,as you're passing this lifeThe streets came in.into my window.Now the war begins my dear, I'll be holding onto nothing.The streets came in.Into my windowNow the war begins my dear, as you're passing this life!Now I see it, it's a doorwayit's a doorway to my loveNow i see it, it's a doorway,It's a doorway step from aboveNow 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 aboveNow I see it, it's a doorway, it's a doorway to...(Spoken)Down, Down, DownThere was nothing to doSo 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?"
