Lyrics
Divine intervention in this decaying world
And this hip young dude stood passionately
Succumbing to the he dog sound
Of the mystifying beat combo
That breaks down your door
Take you high now, real high

Kickin' down the devil's door
Cheap thrills baby I need some more
City on fire becoming me
Let's hurry lover and fly together
Majestic high and soaring now
Babylon bares her breast again
Time's like quicksand
Soon again I'm standing naked in...

Wonderland
I feel mistreated
Wonderland
I feel defeated (but not for long)

Tear the petals from this sweet narcissus
Crumbles gently in the palm of my hand
What once was inviting is dull and blinding
Once magnificent has slipped away
Serpent in my belly stomach crawlin' now
Wipe the sweat from my furrowed brow
Time's like quicksand
Soon again I'm standing naked in...

Wonderland
I feel mistreated
Wonderland
Bound and branded on my back
Wonderland
Tired and cheated

Divine intervention in this decaying world
And this hip young dude stood passionately
Succumbing to the he dog sound
You know the sound that breaks down your doors
Are listening to me now
The sound of a mystifying beat combo
That's gonna take you higher
