*Untitled EP/Album

"**Hey Alice**", also registered as "**Mad Hatter**" and "**Psycho Lovers**", is a song by Katrina Martinez. It was intended to be the eleventh track on her Untitled EP/Album(Deluxe), however, the project was later scrapped.

## Background

During Katrina's early days she would write and cover multiple songs for fun and would later create a Youtube channel to post her creations. During this time she would write the songs "I Think Im Crazy", "I Love My Ride", "Milky Way", "Oh Carousel", "Alone", "Smoke", "Hey Alice", "Birthing Addicts", and "The One" which "Hey Alice" and the rest of the songs would all be on the final track-list.

After the EP was scrapped the song was rewritten and rerecorded as a single idea under the titles "Mad Hatter" and "Psycho Lovers" but the song would be scrapped.

On March 16th, 2014, Katrina teased the lyric to the bridge of the demo single version to her social media. This also confirms an alternate version of the demo single version that includes the lyric "Love me, honey" and "... from a pillow when you leave" rather than "Draw me, honey" and "... from the pillow when you leave" during the bridge.

## Theme

The 2013 and final single version talks about feeling insane and not fitting into society's rigid standards for people.It shows how Alice Hopper gets bullied in school and how she wants to escape her reality.

The demo single version tells told from the perspective of Alice Hopper, and tells of her falling in love with a boy whom she starts to obsess over, it is made clear that she knows of her own infatuation and she states that without him she could lose her mind even more. She compares her love to the effects of a drug.

**[Intro]**

(The normals, they make me afraid)

(The normals, they make me afraid)

(The normals, they make me afraid)

(The normals, they make me afraid)

(Hey Alice?)

**[Verse 1]**

Hey Alice,

Am I okay?

Everyone says I'm crazy,

I don't understand,

Im hoping deeper down the rabbit hole my dear,

I'm peeling the skin off my face

'Cause I really hate being safe

The normals, they make me afraid

And crazies, they make me feel sane

**[Chorus]**

Hoppin down the rabbit hole,

They bully me,

Saying I'm "crazy",

Sayin I'm such a "crybaby",

I'll just get high off helium,

Rather be wonderland then here

**[Verse 2]**

Hey Alice,

I think I've got little bit of poison in me,

I think I'll be fine though,

The normals, they make me afraid

And crazies, they make me feel sane

Am I talking to myself?

**[Chorus]**

Hoppin down the rabbit hole,

They bully me,

Saying I'm "crazy",

Sayin I'm such a "crybaby",

I'll just get high off helium,

Rather be wonderland then here

When I'm hidden underground

Can anybody hear me?

Am I talking to myself?

**[Bridge]**

Mirror, Mirror,

I think I'm expired,

The noose is ready for me,

But I'll wait it out for little,

I need to say my final goodbyes

**[Chorus]**

Hoppin down the rabbit hole,

They bully me,

Saying I'm "crazy",

Sayin I'm such a "crybaby",

I'll just get high off helium,

Rather be wonderland then here

When I'm hidden underground

Can anybody hear me?

**[Outro]**

"You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are".

**[Verse 1]**

My friends don't walk, they run

Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun

Poppin', poppin' balloons with guns

Getting high off helium

We paint white roses red

Each shade from a different persons' head

This dream, dream is a killer

Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar

**[Pre-chorus]**

I'm peeling the skin off my face

'Cause I really hate being safe

The normals, they make me afraid

The crazies, they make me feel sane

**[Chorus]**

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad

The craziest friend that you've ever had

You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone

Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers

You like me best when I'm off my rocker

Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed

So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

All the best people are crazy

All the best people are

**[Verse 2]**

Where is my prescription?

Doctor, doctor, please, listen

My brain is scattered

You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter

**[Pre-chorus]**

I'm peeling the skin off my face

'Cause I really hate being safe

The normals, they make me afraid

The crazies, they make me feel sane

**[Chorus]**

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad

The craziest friend that you've ever had

You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone

Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers

You like me best when I'm off my rocker

Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed

So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

**[Bridge]**

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone

So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are

And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone

It's probably the reason that we get along

**[Chorus]**

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad

The craziest friend that you've ever had

You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone

Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers

You like me best when I'm off my rocker

Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed

So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

All the best people are crazy

All the best people are

All the best people are crazy

All the best people are

**[Verse 1]**

Will you follow me down here?

Down the rabbit hole, my dear

You're my needle, you're my drug

Get me high up on your love

I've gone mental, can't you tell?

You've put me under your spell

I'm sweating, shaking without you

Without your love, I'll get the flu

**[Pre-Chorus]**

A damaged brain, the highest fever

I'm sweating bullets without you near, near

A severed heart inside me without your love

I guess I'll bleed, bleed

**[Chorus]**

Crazy for your love, trembling for your touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Blood is boiling up, feel hot to the touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha

**[Verse 2]**

Your love crawls up in my skin

Cut me open, put you in

Chills and goosebumps fill me up

Just can't seem to get enough

**[Pre-Chorus]**

A damaged brain, the highest fever

I'm sweating bullets without you near, near

A severed heart inside me without your love

I guess I'll bleed, bleed

**[Chorus]**

Crazy for your love, trembling for your touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Blood is boiling up, feel hot to the touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha

**[Bridge]**

Draw me, honey

I watch you sleep

I'm collecting your hair from the pillow when you leave

**[Chorus]**

Crazy for your love, trembling for your touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Blood is boiling up, feel hot to the touch

Do you love me too? Is this what psycho lovers do?

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ha
