i think i made you up inside my head

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.

grey bulbs illuminate hollow streets
they cast shadows carelessly
i stare alone with holes in my shoes
the wind blows clear through our soles

my poor sort of memory at work
wasted faces cross my sunken eyes
stale voices sound out of reach

i lash out, screem, eyes blazing
but not a one isn’t fleeting
quickly turned, they pull away in the wind

you will haunt me forever.
