I'm standing on the edge of the cliff And I'm thinking it through my mind I'm afraid that I'm about to slip Because my body is out of time And I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, think Thinking till I'm nearly dead Do you remember when you were young? Do you remember what your mother said? She said, don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much Obsession is a terrible thing Does it happen to everyone? As mother nature comes with a sting And it persecutes everyone And I'm lying, I'm lying, I'm lying awake Lying in my burnt out bed Do you remember when you were young? Do you remember what your mother said? She said, don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And I think again And I think again It's just the thinking I don't understand It's all holes, built to wires But persecution is on fire Don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much And don't ever think, ever think, ever think too much
