“COME TO THE LAND OF THE SILVER SUN—EVERYTHING GLOWS AND SPARKLES AND SHINES—HERE IN THE LAND OF THE SILVER SUN EVERYTHING IS FINE

But Alice Dear knew better

Once Upon A Time there was a Queen named ALICE DEAR who lived all alone in a giant castle with her cat Calliope. She was held prisoner inside the castle; there was no rain and all day long the land was suspended in a dark grey haze where the sun appeared silver.

lyrics

LAND OF THE SILVER SUN

Come To The Land Of The Silver Sun

Everything Glows and Sparkles and Shines

Here In The Land Of The Silver Sun

Everything's So Fine


ALICE DEAR

Alice Dear your window pane has dust again..

Alice was a fancy queen wih windows blue and green, and never kept them clean, she never kept them clean

Alice Dear your window pane has dust again..


Alice was a lass who lived so fast and always stood aghast at all the things that last, oh all the things that last

Alice Dear your window pane has dust again..

Tell me later whatcha gonna do? Tell me later what's become of you.


Alice Dear your hesitation causes me such fascination a strange sensation I don't know what to do
Calliope would sit and stare for days into the haze, I wonder at her gaze, I wonder at her gaze..

Calliope the lights are on outside again, Calliope the lights are on outside again

All day long she stares into the sun, ohho, how's she ever gonna get things done, oh how's she ever gonna get things done?
