I never knew the curve of your nose
But I bet you were a beauty
And I never heard the call of your voice
But I bet you parted water
And the mind can play tricks on the fool who tries to use it
I never helped into your coat
When you were walking into bad weather
And I never watched the way your dress talked
With its hem hanging casual across your kneecap
And the mind can play tricks on the fool who tries to use it
Oh imagination you are cruel and uncomfortable
Well early this morning they broke down the door
And they carried me off to the fun farm
They tightened the buckles and thought of their loved ones when they saw the madness in me
And the mind can play tricks on the fool who tries to use it
Oh imagination you have worked your charms on me
I've been under your spell hypnotized captivated
And bending over backwards
But could it be true that I might be, too
Wondered about by some other girl
Whose heard of my name and knows what I am
But can't seem to put her finger on it
And the mind can play tricks on the fool who tries to use it
