Everything has to fall apart
Why are you so serious
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted roommate 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
Committing your crimes
I 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
What a terrible thought
What a terrible, terrible thought
What a terrible, terrible thought
What a terrible, terrible thought
What a terrible, terrible thought
What is your greatest worry
Because you seem to be worried all the time
Sometimes I can't hear myself
You have to speak a little louder
I can't understand a word you're saying
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
