Terrible Thought lyrics
Song information
Artist: Poe
Album: Haunted
Lyrics
Father: everything has to fall apart
Daughter: why are you so serious?!
[These two lines are actually on this track, not #3.]
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine
It feeds on my happiness, 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 wit
I must take proper measures, 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'll have your fun
But you cannot adhere
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 could have a terribly long career
What a terrible thought
What minds have you shredded?
I bet they regretted
Having ever thought you up
Just look at you shine
Commiting your crimes
I know I don't want you in my mind
[Not "you"]
'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
What a terrible thought
What a terrible terrible thought
What a terrible terrible thought
What a terrible terrible thought
[Fading] what a terrible terrible thought
[Very soft] what a terrible thought
[Very soft] what a terrible thought
[Very soft] what a terrible thought
[There's a very soft sample over these last three lines that I can't make out.]
Jazzman: just back up boys, stick it man
Father :
What is your greatest worry because you seem to be
Worried all the time
Daughter:
Sometimes I can't hear myself..
Father:
Yyou have to speak a little louder
I can't understand a word you're saying
Daughter :
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
