Alice by Heart - Isn't It a Trial? Lyrics

2019 Off-Broadway
Alice by Heart the Musical - Isn't It a Trial? Lyrics

"Isn't It a Trial?" was written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, performed by Queen of Hearts & Company.

QUEEN OF HEARTS:
Talk and talk and talk
Still you're never not you
All your same old wants
Now where have they brought you
Shuffle all your hearts
Play like sister taught you
No one wins at cards
Or plays like they ought to

Isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
When everything you've read
Swells your little head

Shall we have a song
For the girl gone naughty
Somehow feels so wrong
Now to have that body
Rabbit got so big
What's his mama fed him
Don't you feel a pig
Still you want to pet him

Well, isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
The world no longer fits
And still you're stuck in it
Isn't it a trial
No child can stay a child
God knows what you did
But now you're not a kid

CATERPILLAR:
So now you have a past
And no one understands

CATERPILLAR & CANARY:
Just turn another page
My dear you look your age

QUEEN OF HEARTS: (spoken)
Really?

(sung)
Hey!
Isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
And no one, no one knows
The way out of the hole
Isn't it a trial
No child can stay a child
The story never told
Now Wonderland grows old
Isn't it a trial
Isn't it a trial

SYNOPSIS
West of Words
Down the Hole
Still
Chillin' the Regrets
The Key Is
Those Long Eyes
Manage Your Flamingo
Sick to Death of Alice-ness
Brillig Braelig
Some Things Fall Away
Your Shell of Grief
Another Room in Your Head
Isn't It a Trial?
Do You Think We Think You're Alice?
I've Shrunk Enough
Afternoon
Winter Blooms
