In the back of my closet
There’s alternate dimension
I’ve kept it hidden all of my life
No one knows what lies beyond that portal
Not my kid and not my wife
You can find me there
The man with the curious hair
These are my curious inventions
I make them up all the time
These are my curious inventions
And I will keep them with mine
There are signposts
Written in a language
That only I can understand
I know I run the risk of disappearing
Into my own invented land
Don't you bother to knock
The door will not unlock
It is a safe house
From a world in peril
A world that’s drowning in strife
It's where I go when I am broken
It's where I go to save my life
The kid asks me
What you doing in there
Won’t you come out and play with me
I say you’re daddy’s busy in here
Inventing his own reality
I left the word behind
For the benefit of mankind
