I live surrounded by cherished memories I have a weakness for collecting them Alphabetize As far as I recall my childish rituals Icons of that world Always filled my shelves and heart Now I shelter from the rain Hole up in my cage You don't have to think too much today They filled in for your brain Curled up Deprived Curled up Deprived I shut away In a world of synonyms And handwritten notes My own puppet performances Endless bedtime stories I could touch the Moon And switch off the Sun I could have my dreams And dream about better times Now I shelter from the rain Hole up in my cage You don't have to think too much today They filled in for your brain Curled up Deprived Curled up Deprived I shut away Please don't call my name
