—Drummssdullville—
The room where the red hall ends
Is the room where the trouble begins
The room where the red hall ends
Is the room where the trouble begins
They flourish in all of the halls
As they pass through all of the walls
In the house that’s made of stone
In the world that’s locked in the dome
But here in Drummssdullville, they just can’t get their fill
Of their own reality
But is it worth the price to make that sacrifice,
And live in a dream that you can see?
Where the happy mask and saddened mask
Can watch your every move
The show begins and it ends within,
So what is there left to prove? Your move!
As time and space is unfurled
Each person’s in their own world
Through the door to all of the land
To the key in the palm of your hand
Leave it all behind what you saw
Under Hall of the Hourglass Law
But here in Drummssdullville, they just can’t get their fill
Of their own reality
But is it worth the price to make that sacrifice,
And live in a dream that you can see?
Where the happy mask and saddened mask
Can watch your every move
The show begins and it ends within,
So what is there left to prove? Your move!
But the marigold girl has stolen the key
From the looking glass sea, with such dignity
From the man looking back on the world that he knew
But the contact came through—yes, the contact came through
And she cried for the man in black,
And the wind on the waiting track
It was a question of time and space,
And it brought her to this convex place
The room where the red hall ends
