Terrible Thought

歌詞

A terrible thought has moved into my mind Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine It feeds on my unhappiness, won't pay the rent I must take proper measures to evict it A terrible thought has moved into my mind A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride It's tearing away my patience and my wits I must take proper measures to set a trap for it What a terrible thought I don't care what you've done I don't care who you've won I know in the end, you have your fun But you can't have it here And I won't let you steer You know I don't want you in my mind What a terrible thought What a terrible, terrible thought I must stay calm you know and I must be clear It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear A train like that can travel a soul for years A terrible thought can have a terribly long career What minds have you shredded I bet they regretted Having ever thought you up Just look at you shine Committing your crimes You know I don't want you in my mind 'Cause you're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride What a terrible thought... (Father: What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think.) (Father: You have to speak a little louder, I can't understand a word you're saying.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think)
