I'd paint the walls all o'er again With hues and tints of terrific red I'd break the floor and tear apart Curtains that hide me from the world I'm cocooned here in my tiny cage Am fixed upon a false image
I'll throw off and shove away Dust piles of past with fiery floods
I'd wrap this blanket of the night To daze my dreams with a dazzling light And dance my toes on beats so fierce That wailing waves should raise to sky Make a million miles a speck of time And me an oasis in this desert dry
