Wonderland - XTC, Alex Sadkin

Can’t you see, love and affection

When it’s put in your 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

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

And 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»

Wrapped in your mysterious wonderland

Caught in your superficial

Nonexistent fairy-story wonderland

Caught in your tragical wonderland

Wonderland

Mysterious, wonderland

Wonderland
