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).
