Thinking The Unthinkable

Original version (3:48)

What if the rivers all run red?
What if the sky falls on our heads?
What if the moon scares away the sun?
What if tomorrow never comes?

Well you can’t build a ship that’s unsinkable
And you can’t make an army invincible.
I’ve started to think the unthinkable,
I’ve started to wonder
What terrible blunder
I’ve made.

What if tomorrow is Judgement Day
And all the angels laugh and turn away?
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
I’m simply not equipped to deal with it all.

But you can’t build a ship that’s unsinkable
And you can’t make an army invincible.
I’ve started to think the unthinkable,
I’ve started to wonder
What terrible blunder
I’ve made.

I know what you’re thinking -
I’m paranoid -
But I ain’t been drinking
Or reading Freud.
Well I’m not superhuman
And I’m not Superfly
And all I can do is,
All I can do is
Try.

What if the serpent tempted you,
Could you resist forbidden fruit?
Well I ate from that ironic tree
And now my fate conspires against me.

Well you can’t build a ship that’s unsinkable
And you can’t make an army invincible.
I’ve started to think the unthinkable,
I’ve started to wonder
What terrible blunder
I’ve made.
