Lyrics
Oh, this heart is a foolish one
It's never worked right
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 whisky or wine can assuage
My poor ludicrous heart as it rattles the bars
Rattles the bars of its cage
Oh, and 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 in 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 it's ready to start
So I tag along and I play out
I play out my ludicrous part
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
Needs 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
