2019 Off-Broadway
Alice by Heart the Musical - Brillig Braelig Lyrics

"Brillig Braelig" was written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, performed by Jabberwocky, Molly Gordon (Alice) & Company.

JABBERWOCKY:
Brillig, braelig uffish-ness
Und cryptic diagnosis
Words mean what we say they mean
And that's the way it goes, it's
"Worthless, wordless" you insist
What's lost is won and so what
Senseless twit, go grieve a bit
And soon we'll have samosas

SOLDIERS:
Come sicky, sicky, sicky
Front of the line
Spine up you icky sicky
Sign up to die

JABBERWOCKY:
Unravel all you ever learned
And who knows what it meant
The thoughts you had
Or thought you had
And who knows where they went
So "who is there?" quarrel you
Who cares if you are, quote, "at sea"
And who is here before you here
Quoi you, quoi him, quoi me

SOLDIERS:
Oooh
Oooh

JABBERWOCKY: (spoken)
Oh!

SOLDIERS:
Oooh
Oooh

JABBERWOCKY & SOLDIERS:
Brillig braelig uffish-ness
Und psuedo-pnuemo-nosis
Streptomyces griseus
Into tuberculosis
Fit a bit of faulkner in
And dine on your alone-ness

JABBERWOCKY:
Brillig is you love a twit
And soon you choke his false love

SOLDIERS:
Come sicky, sicky, sicky
Sign up your mind
Spine up you icky sicky
Sign up to die

JABBERWOCKY:
There was a day the world was made
Of you and room and catch-
And then one day the sorrow came
And you moved into that
And then callai a Jabber came
And made his room your mind
And jabber-ached and jabber-played
And jabber all the time

SOLDIER:
Oooh

JABBERWOCKY & SOLDIERS:
Brillig braelig uffish-ness
Oh frabjous day you know what

ALICE:
Words aren't what you say they mean
He's not some diagnosis

JABBERWOCKY & SOLDIERS:
This is where your story ends
Go down your hole and hole up

ALICE:
Senseless, heartless idiot
I will not give his soul up!

Alice by Heart the Musical Lyrics

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
