Shakespears Sister

Songwriter: Grace Slick

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones your mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
Go ask Alice
She should know

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're gonna fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call...
Call Alice
When she was small
Call Alice
She should know

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
Ask Alice
She will know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off her head
Remember what the Dormouse said!
Feed your head!
Feed your head!
Feed your head!
Free your head!

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
