Thinkin'

(album: Alive On Arrival - 1978)

Well, don't ya go thinking, and thinking, and thinking
And thinking so much 'till you're stranded behind
Don't ya go thinking, and thinking, and thinking
And thinking so much 'till you're losing 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

And don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much 'til you're stranded behind
Don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much till you're losing your mind

All the tension inside has gone through to your face
You're flashing your madness all over the place
You stand in the hallway and try to explain
I look in your eyes; I see shackles and chains, aw...

Hey, don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much 'til you're stranded behind
Don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much till you're losing your mind

You're chasing some notion you've misunderstood
You're trying so hard; can't you tell it's no good?
You analyze everything into a "No"
You're falling apart, you got nothing to show

Hey, ya, ya, oh
No, don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much 'til you're stranded behind
Don't you go thinking and thinking and thinking and
Thinking so much till you're losing your mind, aw
