Thoughts race inside
My unstoppable mind
As I lie, still as ever
In this bed of mine
Not moving, won't stop,
Can't grab them or drop
them on the floor under my feet
where they belong, I can't compete
I'd love to think of rivers
Or calming peaceful streams
Oh what I'd give to think of flowers
Or the buzzing sound of bees
Inside is a hurricane
Outside is a drizzle
I can't control my hurried mind
But at least it's working well
Oh I shouldn't complain,
Yes my thoughts run all day
Each one deeper than the last
And although I'm led astray
My thoughts tell me more
Than your words ever could
Because I've had a hundred
More thoughts than I should
Oh the thoughts race inside
My unstoppable mind
As I lie, still as ever
In this bed of mine

Thoughts race inside
My unstoppable mind
As I lie, still as ever
In this bed of mine
Not moving, won't stop,
Can't grab them or drop
them on the floor under my feet
where they belong, I can't compete
I'd love to think of rivers
Or calming peaceful streams
Oh what I'd give to think of flowers
Or the buzzing sound of bees
Inside is a hurricane
Outside is a drizzle
I can't control my hurried mind
But at least it's working well
Oh I shouldn't complain,
Yes my thoughts run all day
Each one deeper than the last
And although I'm led astray
My thoughts tell me more
Than your words ever could
Because I've had a hundred
More thoughts than I should
Oh the thoughts race inside
My unstoppable mind
As I lie, still as ever
In this bed of mine
