madwoman

Malvina Reynolds

Madwoman, I can't touch you,
I can't stop to listen to you.
If I step into your nightmare,
I will never come out again.

I turn my face away
For fear that I will see
My own face in a mirror
Looking back at me.

Madwoman, do not touch me,
If I stop, you will transform me,
If I step into your nightmare,
I will never get free.

Somewhere back where I have left you,
Comes your voice all harsh and blue,
So I run for fear I'll start
To chant along with you.

Madwoman, I can't touch you,
I can't stop to listen to you.
If I step into your nightmare,
I will never come out again.
