Song of the Day, 8/11/2014 - Bob Schroeck - 08-12-2014
I grew up seeing things a little differently, appearing,
disappearing, hardly innocent, nor
tied down to the ground.
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches,
glory in my stripes and spots
walk by invisible and never make a sound
But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
tender is the heart you never see
hard and fast shines the grin that we flash,
but there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me.
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
is not for me, my friend.
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
that we're all mad here
and it's okay.
Sun up, sun down the shadows hide me down in
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way,
but if you find it in your dreams, you can
find it at your day job
somewhere south of Hell
Take the path to left or right with
just your gut to guide you
the story is not for anyone else to tell.
Go down the rabbit hole and out the other side
you can't go home in the middle of the
magic carpet ride
you gotta greet the sun before his
lovely daughter moon
you can't forsake the journey for the
safety of your room
until you learn your lesson well.
I have learned to see and hear
everybody loud and clear
but the truth comes out in riddles that are
safe enough to share
that's how it is in songs, you see,
and stripes always look good on me
whether or not I'm really there (smile hangs in the air)
But heavy is the burden of the wise ones
when no one understands a word they say
the Jabberwock never bothered anyone,
but nobody believes him to this day
and why should they?
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
we're all mad here
and it's ok.

Is it the stripes or the spots you see?
Was it hearts or diamonds, baby, brought you here to me?
Darling, you know better than to trust a pack of cards!
What have we learned,
the world is never as mad as it could be.
never as mad as it could be.
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
that we're all mad here
and it's ok!

I'm surprised no one responded to this in the past 11 days, if only to comment on the horrible spelling in the video or to say "ohmigod, it's 'Luna Lovegood: The Song'!"

Sad thing is, this was originally posted on my birthday. Unfortunately, at that point I didn't have computer access, and as I recall was still getting my life straightened back out with a jew job after having been out of work for a year previous to it. Going strong now, though...

Good to hear, Vulpis...
