lyrics

In my youth said his father I took to the law
and argued each case with my wife
and the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw
has lasted the rest of my life

"Come back," the caterpillar called after her
"I have something important to say"

She felt there was no time to be lost
she was shrinking rapidly
So she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit
Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot
She was hardly able to open her mouth
But she did it, at last
and managed to swallow a morsel of the other bit

"I'm not particular as to size"
Alice hastily replied
"Only one doesn't like changing so often, you know?"

"I don't know" said the caterpillar

Alice said nothing
She had never been so much contradicted in her life before
and she felt that she was losing her temper

"I wish that creatures weren't so easily offended"
"You'll get used to it in time" said the caterpillar
and it put the hookah in it's mouth and started smoking again

This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again

In a minute or two the caterpillar took the hookah out of it's mouth
and yawned once or twice
and shook itself
then got down off the mushroom and crawled away into the grass
Merely remarking as it went
"One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter"
One side of what?
The other side of what?
Thought Alice to herself....

Be what you would seem to be
Or, if you would like it put more simply
Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you might have been or would be blah blah blah .

Really hard to pick a favorite in this awesome record! I can hear a lot of King Gizzard (especially Quaters and I'm in your mind fuzz) guitar ideas in it mixed with a lot of jazz and rock. Very colorful and entertaining and gives me a good mood! StrangeFlow
