Thinking Round Corners - Jethro Tull

All of you sit up in bed.

Don’t think in straight lines ahead

Can’t sleep?

Head spin?

Don’t think in circles, it’ll do you in

Think back to the dream you had;

no sense of being good or bad

Jump to the left, jump to the right.

Think round corners into night

Let’s go in wet corridors: dive down drains

Draw strength from machinery, it’s all the same

Thinking round corners.

Think round corners, I say

Pretty girl with neon eyes: best man between white thighs

Bridegroom didn’t know a thing: got his love in lights

She wears two rings

Think back to that dream you had

Blue boy sorry, pink girl sad

Yellow cow, big-eyed moon all coming round the corner soon

Let’s stand in rapids: cling to carnivals

Spit life from the maypole in savage ceremony

Let’s go in wet corridors: dive down drains

Draw strength from machinery, it’s all the same

Thinking round corners.

Think round corners, I say

Paper cowboys, tin drums banging where the white man comes

Landowners with whips and chains but soft in bed amidst

Warm rains

Thinking back to the dream they had.

Jack and Jill

Jack the lad

Homestead.

Home free.

How about leaving some for me?

Let’s bathe in malt whisky: covet gold finery

Through the eyes of a Jackdaw, dressed to the nines

Let’s go in wet corridors: dive down drains

Draw strength from machinery, it’s all the same

Thinking round corners.

Think round corners, I say

Thinking round corners
