Alice by Heart - Down the Hole Lyrics

2019 Off-Broadway
Alice by Heart the Musical - Down the Hole Lyrics

"Down the Hole" was written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, performed by Molly Gordon (Alice) and Company.

ALICE:
Just some summer book
God, and it was hot too
Who knew where to look
What to do, and not do

ALFRED:
Now some rabbit broods
Like there's no tomorrow

ALICE:
How can you refuse
When I tell you follow?

ALICE & ALFRED:
And now we’re down the hole
And really on a roll
And something on the shelves
Pulled something out ourselves

ALFRED:
Down and down we fall
Now, where have we wandered
Pictures, books, and all
Tumbling from the cupboard

HAROLD/MAD HATTER:
Hit the ground below
Everything's so tiny

ALFRED:
Now, where did it go
The world I left behind me

ALL:
And now we're down the hole
And really on a roll

NIGEL/EAGLET:
God knows where we're at

TABATHA/CHESHIRE PUSS:
Should have brought the cat

ALL:
And now we're down the hole
And coming from the soul

ANGUS/CATERPILLAR:
The walls are all so tall

CLARISSA/CANARY:
There too small for the hall

ALFRED:
These hands are not my hands
So, is this wonderland?

ALICE:
No rabbit can begin to know the state I’m in

DR. BUTRIDGE/KING OF HEARTS:
You eat a marble cake
Your heart begins to ache

RED CROSS NURSE/QUEEN OF HEARTS:
But once you start to eat
You're too tall for your feet

DODGY/DUCHESS:
The bottle tells you "drink."
You never stop to think

ALL:
How quickly you will shrink
(And you will shrink)
The more and more you drink

ALICE:
But, now you’re down the hole

ALL:
Down and down the hole
Now you're down the hole

And now you're down the hole
And calling from the soul
What happens if I can't
Get out of wonderland

ALICE & ALFRED/WHITE RABBIT:
Now we're down the hole

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
