Verse 1
She wandered through the garden fence
Said I've brought at great expense
A potion guaranteed to bring
Relief from all your suffering
[2: And] though I said you don't exist
She grasped me firmly by the wrist
Threw me down upon my back
Strapped me to her torture rack
And without further argument
I found my mind was also bent
Upon a course so devious
It only made my torment worse
Verse 2
She said I see you cannot speak
Is it your voice that is too weak
Is it your tongue that is to blame
Maybe you cannot speak for shame
Or has your brain been idle too
Now it will not think for you
I hastened to make my reply
Found that I could only lie
[3: And] Like a fool I believed myself
And thought I was somebody else
She could see what I was then
And left me on my own again
