[Verse 1]
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.)

[Verse 2]
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

[Verse 3]
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.)

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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.)

[Verse 6]
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.)
