Another day, and Alice waits
To weave the spell
Of perfection
That you may believe
In your own show-n-tell
More two-hour insanity
As Alice watches you
Through her looking glass
From inside the mirror
Of your Kingwood vanity
While others pray
You have learned
Salvation is only found in
La Prairie Foundation
Alice watches you every day
She owns your mind
That's why you can't look away
Skin deep - this is the way
Collected - Composed - Organized
Your image of perfection
Always on display
All while Alice reflects
What's real
Always the opposite
Of how you want to feel
Houdini imperfections always escape
Through the cracks in your story
Alice watches you every day
She owns your mind
That's why you can't look away
The cost you pay is high
Thirty pieces of silver
To enter
The dreams of perfection
But it's at least a down payment
For a few jars of L'Or De Vie
Another day and Alice waits
To weave the spell
Of perfection
That you may believe
In your own show-n-tell
That you may believe
In your own show-n-tell
