Thinkin'

By Steve Forbert

Well don't ya go thinkin', and thinkin', and thinkin' and thinkin'
so much 'till you're stranded behind

Don't ya go thinkin', and thinkin', and thinkin', and thinkin'
so much 'till you're losin' your mind

There's so many depressions all plowed in your brain

Trace 'em too far, and they'll drive you insane

You're twisted so tight now, you hardly can talk

Get out in the daylight and go for a walk

All the tension inside has gone through to your face

You're flashin' your madness all over the place

You stand in the hallway an' try to explain

I look in your eyes, I see shackles an' chains,

You're chasin' some notion you've misunderstood

You're tryin' so hard, can't you tell it's no good?

You analyze everything into a "No"

You're fallin' apart, you got nothing to show
