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 waltsing out in blue and red,

And obituary blackness gallops in.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. 

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed, 

And sung me main-struck kissed me quite insane.

I think i made you up inside my head.

God triumphs from the sky, hell's fires fade;

Exit Seraphina and Satan's men.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fantasized you'd return the way you said,

But I grow old and I forgot your name.

I think I made you inside my head.

I should have loved a thunder bird 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.
