Tryin' Not To Think About It

(album: Love Stinks - 1980)

Three years in the ice box
Three years with no air
The knife cuts through in every direction
And the teeth of time, they don't care

Face down in the river, too loyal to black
She's going on trail and there's trouble out there

Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it (oh yeah)
Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it (oh yeah)

Red screams in the mailbox
Blue dreams on my phone
Bad legs, neurosis, your real lost doses
Four walls, no lights, hold on

The future grows cold as friends disappear
Don't move its no use, cause the night is right here

Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it, huh huh (oh yeah)
Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it, try so hard, help me up

The sniper old hand as he slowly takes aim
Why didn't they tell me the rules of the game?

Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it, huh (oh yeah)
Try, try, I'm trying not to think about it, yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
