poe - terrible thought 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.
