Chalice Borealis, lighting up the night

No wonderland for Alice--she don't have the right

Chalice Borealis--how does your garden glow

Molly don't work in Dallas

But the river has to go



Oh, whatcha gonna do when time runs out on you

Run down, ghost town

Barren pastures all around



How y'gonna explain it to your grandkids

Where did the mountain go

How y'gonna tell them you sold it

Where did the mountain go



Didn't turn out quite the way y'wanted

How were you to know 

Boom town broke down--what a let down

Where did the mountain go



Chalice Borealis--will you ever learn

Your mother bears you no malice

But she will have her turn



Chalice Borealis--lighting up the sky

No wonderland for Alice 

She's just passin' by, passin' by
