She wandred through the garden fence Songtext / Lyric

She wandered through the garden fence
and said, "I've brought at great expense
a potion guaranteed to bring
relief from all your suffering."
And though I said, "You don't exist,"
she grasped me firmly by the wrist
and threw me down upon my back
and 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

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,
and now it will not think for you ?"
I hastened to make my reply -
found that I could only lie.
And like a fool I believed myself,
and thought I was somebody else.
But she could see what I was then.
And left me on my own again.
