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 you 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 cant seem to put her finger on it And the mind can play tricks on the fool who tries to use it
