I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I lift my lids and all is born again
(I think I made you up inside my head)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red
And arbitrary blackness gallops in
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane
(I think I made you up inside my head)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade
Exit Seraphim and Satan's men
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I fancied you'd return the way you said
But I grow old and I forget your name
(I think I made you up inside my head)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead
At least when spring comes they roar back again
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
(I think I made you up inside my head)
To the person in the bell jar
Blank and stopped as a dead baby
The world itself is a bad dream
