XTC LYRICS - Wonderland

"Wonderland"



Can't you see

Love and affection

When it's put

In you direction

Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland

No fast car

Can make you grow up

Gentlemen

You think you've sewn up

Locked in your wonderful wonderland

No dark horse like me can cramp all of your style

Too plain and simple I am for your file



[Chorus:] One day you will break out of your spell

And some day you will want me for your own

And I'll say welcome to reality



All this talk

Of late-night parties

Flirting with the lower gentry

Lost in your magical wonderland

Out of depth

Out of class

Phase of your life

Will come to pass

Caught in this tragical wonderland

All of the riches that shine will turn sour

Each moment you slip you will bring near the hour



[Chorus]



Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland



Caught in your superficial

Nonexistant

Fairy-story

Wonderland
