"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.)"
