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.)
