Sylvia Plath
Mad Girl’s Love Song
[Verse 1]
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I lift my lids and all is born again
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
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 think I made you up inside my head

[Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm going mad, oh
I think I'm going

[Verse 2]
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
I think I made you up inside my head

God topples from the sky and hell's fires fade
Exit seraphim and Satan's men
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I think I made you up inside my head
[Chorus]
Oh, I think I'm going mad, oh
I think I'm going

[Verse 3]
I fancied you'd return the way you said
But I grow old and I forget your name
I fancied you'd return the way you said
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
