One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
He called Alice, when she was just small
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
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the Dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
He called Alice, when she was just small
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
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the Dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head

'alice in wonderland' was based on Alice Liddell, a young girl that caroll was fond of (if not in love with), and its full of brilliant allegories and statements on society... it was not a recollection of carroll's drug visions. lewis carroll may have been an opium user, but there's a lot of speculation. try actually reading the book, not just watching the tripped-out disney movie and thinking you understand it.
that isn't to say that you can't draw similarities between aspects of a hallucinogenic experience and the story... this song is definetly reminiscent of tripping, an experience you can't understand any way other than firsthand. and im sure the line 'go ask alice' is just a mocking congruency between the fictional anti-drug book and the comparison to 'alice in wonderland'.
