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.)
我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡；
我抬起眼，世上一切又重生。
（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）
星星輕快的舞出藍與紅，
且肆意的黑疾馳而入：
我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。
我夢見你蠱惑我上床
且為我發狂唱歌，狂吻著我。
（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）
神從天上傾覆，地獄之火消失：
（我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。）
我幻想你會回到你說的樣子，
但我已老且忘記你的名字。
（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）
我應該愛一隻雷鳥做為替代；
至少當春天來時，他們會再次怒吼回來。
我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。
（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）
