  • Flashing lights and we
    Took a wrong turn and we
    Fell down a rabbit hole
    You held on tight to me
    'Cause nothing's as it seems
    And spinning out of control
    Didn't they tell us don't rush into things?
    Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
    Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?
    Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?
    I felt your arms twisting around me
    I should've slept with one eye open at night

    We found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever, eh, eh
    We found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better, eh, eh
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland

    So we went on our way
    Too in love to think straight
    All alone, or so it seemed
    But there were strangers watching
    And whispers turned to talking
    And talking turned to screams, oh

    Didn't they tell us don't rush into things?
    Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
    Didn't you call my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile?
    Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?
    I felt your arms twisting around me
    It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind

    Oh, darling, we found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever, eh, eh
    We found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better, eh, eh
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
    (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland

    I reached for you
    But you were gone
    I knew I had to go back home
    You search the world for something else
    To make you feel like what we had
    And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad

    Oh, we found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever, eh, eh (last forever)
    We found Wonderland
    You and I got lost in it (got lost in it)
    And life was never worse but never better, eh, eh (never better)
    We found Wonderland (eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
    You and I got lost in it (in Wonderland)
    And we pretended it (eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
    Could last forever (in Wonderland)
    We found Wonderland (eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
    You and I got lost in it (in Wonderland)
    And life was never worse but never better (eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
