Ludicrous Heart

Oh, this heart is a foolish one it's, never worked right
 it beats so loudly it keeps me awake in the night and it
 forces me out of bed, pacing my floor instead
 longing for things to which it has no right
 and no whiskey or wine, can it swage.
 My poor ludicrous heart as it, rattles the bars, rattles the bars of its cage.
 Oh it speaks so persuasively it, argues convincingly it
 drags me along where it wants me to go and it
 bellows and yells and it sings and it wails and it
 cries out and gestures and puts on a show
 oh it thinks, the whole world, is a stage.
 Yeah my ludicrous heart it just, rattles the bars, rattles the bars of its cage.
 'Cause it's a big world out there so much to do, and its ready to start.
 So I tag along and I play up, I play out my ludicrous heart.
 Oh and sometimes it feels, like it must weigh a hundred pounds
 sometimes it's light so much lighter than air oh but always
 it wants too much, eats too much, feels too much
 loves so much more than just one heart can bear
 and sometimes in a piteous rage
 My poor ludicrous heart it just, rattles the bars, rattles the bars of its cage.
 Yeah my ludicrous heart it just rattles the bars,
 rattles the bars, rattles the bars of its cage.
