What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind, what image do you find, when
you say I love you baby
Are you straddling my chest, what’s the place you love best,
were ya thinkin’ ‘bout that maybe
Memories play too big a part, tired of things keeping us
apart, so much further from our destinations
Pounding head cannot explain, leads to short fuses and I
complain, our dreams are not evil machinations
The plotting to tear out your past, you bite your tongue it
leaves you aghast, choking on the terrible taste
But the revolutions around the big old sun, time lost well
it can’t be undone, our memories lay in waste
And what goes through your mind, keeps getting harder to
find, when you say I love you baby
Backwards thinking as futures languish, kill love buds ‘n you’ll
anguish, falling before they bloom maybe
Like our great big Christmas cactus, just telling you what the
facts is, it’s still alive but baby when it’s in bloom
A lot like you straddling my chest, it’s the thing we both
love the best, the magic in the air lights up the room
So tell me mama what goes through your mind
