Sick

Sick!
Yes, we're all such very sick beings!
There's a ringing, ringing
In my ears.
Don't know if I'll laugh or burst into tears!

The world has turned gay and upside down.
You know, that makes all our smiles frowns.
Then again, our frowns are smiles,
And O the colours! For miles and miles!

I love it, I hate it,
Now I've gone and ate it.
The gears have stopped working,
The shadows are lurking,
But pay me no mind, they'll be gone in time.
The sheep are grazing, the wolves are crazing,
But only the rabid ones,
Yes, the ones with rabbits.

(You see, I'm) Sick!
Yes, indeed! So very sick!
There's a ringing, ringing
In my ears!
Don't know if I'll laugh or burst into tears!

Sick to my stomach,
Sick my brain.
The cats are wheezing,
I've a horrible migraine.

Come, whisper to my ear some message I need to hear.
It's all in good fun, yes, indeed, just a game!
Now if only I could remember my own name.
Excuse me sir, what time is it?
Surely you can stay for a bit?
I need somebody here close to me in my sudden insanity,
For nobody wants to be lonely.

(Wheee, I'm) Sick!
Yes, I'm quite rightly sick!
There's a ringing, ringing
In my ears!
Don't know if I'll laugh or burst into tears!

I think I'm going to vomit,
Or maybe not? Let's wait and see!
Oh won't you come, please, stay with me?
I need some medicine, so true.

Go get me some, no wait, come back.
I think I'm just about to crack.
If my head splits open, will there be yolk?
Make some eggies for the young folk?
They'll be better, I think, than the usual lot,
Or feed it to the dogs, if not.
Does it please you sirs to see this act?
Yes life's a play!
Shakespeare's a good man, to this day.

(What's wrong? I'm) Sick!
Yes, I happen to be sick!
There's a ringing, ringing
In my ears!
Don't know if I'll laugh or burst into tears!

Oh the madness, oh the joy,
Come dance with me, you young boy.
Or do you happen to be a lass?
Or are you actually an ass?

I think I'm dying, I seem to be lying;
The world's turned cold and hard to the left.
Yes, I seem to have fallen.
Oh, do help me up.
Is it just me or is that blood?
I'm surrounded by a red flood.
Well, ain't that great?

(Oh my, I'm) Sick!
Yes, in fact, so deathly sick!
There's a ringing, ringing
In my ears!
Don't know if I'll laugh or burst into tears!

And now the end, I see it clearly.
If you'll please, be a deary,
Fetch me my cape, I'll fly into it.
So here I go, off into the pit.


Or am I just...


Imagining it?
