Black Thoughts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, curse my life and look what we get
I find myself thrown in the clink and caught in the spindle
A million miles from home and family
Marooned here, stuck without a friend
Met a cabin boy and I throw him overboard, boy
Don't want to slow down
Without a doubt this is the worst vacation that I have ever been sent on
'Cause them black thoughts are crawling on my mind
Get them black thoughts out of my mind
Got to keep my head up, got to get a fix
Keep towards horizon line
Nothing but blue, dee doo
This is a water slide
Don't stop treading water
Stay with me for a little while
Don't stop treading water
Leviathan rises up from below
'Cause them black thoughts are crawling on my mind
Put them black toxic thoughts
Come on
Down in the hole, I'm about a mile in
Cause for the end of the world tonight
Mutiny, cried the raven on my shoulder
They can give me the plank, I'll take the salt water
A lime, a lemon and an orange peel
Pretty mama, then you know how I feel
I maintain this is the worst vacation that I have ever been put on
'Cause them black thoughts are crawling on my mind
Put them black toxic thoughts out of my mind
Yeah
Come on
My mind
Black thoughts
Black thoughts, baby
Come on
Black thoughts
