Lyrics Michael Franks – Wonderland

Woke up in time to catch the evening news
Sure got some leaders who can spread the blues
I fried some rice up in the frying pan
Headed out the door

Down in wonderland I pass the time away
We play the piano but it ain’t no Steinway
Some fallen angel usually takes my hand and leads me around the corner of wonder, wonder, wonderland
Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass
Life in all her wisdoms made them low
All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their reigns on debts

Down in wonderland the geals ain’t joking take you to heaven for a subway token
Each night my woman is with a different man
Leaning on a bar down in wonder, wonder, wonderland
Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass
Life in all her wisdoms made them low
All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their reigns on debts

Down in wonderland we drown all our sorrows
Got too much yesterdays and no tomorrows
So if you need me I’ll be on the stand,
Fingering the ivories in wonder, wonder, wonderland
Wonder, wonder, wonderland

All of the people in wonderland have wondrous plans that never come to pass (wonderland, wonderland)
Life in all her wisdoms made them low (wonderland, wonderland)
All of the people in wonderland have no regrets they’ve always placed their reigns on debts (wonderland, wonderland)

Life in all her wisdoms made them low (wonderland, wonderland)
