Hurts To Think

Lyrics

it hurts to think
yeah it hurts to think
don't it hurt to think
yeah it hurts to think

so many polka dots
hang out in vacant lots
where leopards change their spots
on folding army cots
so many microdots
hide out in apricots
fearing the coffee pots
avoiding their vicious onslaughts

it hurts to think
that thoughts are threatening
yeah it hurts to think
though nothing's wrong
don't it hurts to think
thoughts can get deafening
no matter where I go
they're never gone

after 10 vodka shots
ambiguous inkblots
baffled the cosmonauts
to buzzed to fly their yachts
those gleaming love robots
gifted by Toys For Tots
programmed as polyglots
keep twisting my words into knots

one more ventriloquist
appears on a blacklist
cause garden gnomes insist
that he's a communist
last night I had a hunch
who crunched the Brady Bunch
and ate their naked lunch
then danced that new craze the twist

it hurts to think
that thoughts are threatening
yeah it hurts to think
though nothing's wrong
don't it hurts to think
thoughts can get deafening
no matter where I go
they're never gone

it hurts to think
thoughts are echoing
it hurts to think
bout fear and doubt
it hurts to think
thoughts keep beckoning
new ones jump right in
can't get them out
