我合上眼眸，世界倒地死去；
我抬起眼帘，一切重获新生。
（我想　你只是我脑海里的幻象。） 

红光蓝光，星子们舞着华尔兹隐去，
马蹄得得，黑暗悍然闯入
我合上眼眸，世界倒地死去。

梦中你尽施魔力，诱我同眠，
歌声叫人迷乱，亲吻叫人癫狂。
（我想　你只是我脑海里的幻象。）

上帝从高天跌落，地狱烈焰渐熄
六翼天使引退，撒旦扈从下场
我合上眼眸，世界倒地死去。

我曾幻想你会如约归来，
但我老了，淡忘了你的姓名。
（我想　你只是我脑海里的幻象。）

我但愿爱上的是一只雷鸟，
至少春回大地，雷鸟也呼啸而返。 
我合上眼眸，世界倒地死去。
（我想　你只是我脑海里的幻象。）

Mad Girl's Love Song 

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.)
