Terrible Thought - Poe

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 can't have it hear 
And I won't let you steer 
You know I don't want you in my mind 

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 could travel a soul for years 
A terrible thought could have a terribly long career 

What minds have you shredded 
I bet they regretted 
Having ever thought you up 
Just look at you shine 
Commiting your crimes 
You 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... 

Father : 
What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time 

Daughter: 
Sometimes I can't hear myself think 

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
