Rabbit In The Clock Tower

In an attic there's a keyhole
With a keyhole there's a door
Through the door there's a kingdom of hearts
Where they live in suits of four
There's a palace where I'm a rabbit
You're with the Queen of Hearts
You've fallen for her spell again
And it's tearing me apart
And I watch idled by in her tower of time
Heartbroken and torn in two
You said your heart was mine
It's late it's late it's far too late
Riddle me this rhyme
But the clockwork has stopped working
This rabbit's out of time
