When I was a young boy
I would take my guitar
I’d play on the balcony
Hoping the breeze
Would carry the sound
And sing you a melody
Now I’m a million miles away
Thinking of the beauty of the days we played
We didn’t know that it would all come to an end
Because I just wonder what streets will see you tonight
And I am envious of the rooms that will hear you laughing out of your mind
Alicia, in the City of Wonders
The Walrus laughed into the morning
The caterpillar’s pipe got us all floatin’
I wish that I could say I love you but I don’t know where you are
Alicia, I will meet you in the City of Wonders
So much time has passed since I last saw your eyes
I miss the feeling of deception when I knew that you weren’t mine
I wish I could’ve stolen a kiss, or maybe just get one last dance
I guess I was too distracted trying to find some masterplan
The amp in the balcony could not ever reach your window
And I will pray to God, Allah, Buddah, or whoever that I’ll get to see you tomorrow
Alicia in the city of wonders
The champagne flowed like mineral water
All the pretty girls have always had that power
I wish that I could say I love you but I don’t know where you are
Alicia, I will meet you in the city of wonder
(Alicia en el Pais de la Maravillas)
Alicia in the city of wonders
The champagne flowed like mineral water
Alicia in the city of wonders
All the pretty girls have always had that power
I wish that I could say I love you but I don’t know where you are
Alicia, I will meet you in the city of wonder
