Jack's Mannequin - My Racing Thoughts Lyrics

She's a black cat
Hanging 'round my doorstep
I'll need all day tomorrow
To recover from today

I was boxing with my shadow at a stoplight
When the clocks changed, yeah
It was midnight, I was mixed up
When she called to drag the lake

I think I'm running short on inspiration
She's running long on borrowed time

We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor, she takes her shots

Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts

My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts

So I'll try to keep her steady now
But steady's not her strong suit
I was raised going to church
But couldn't practice what they preached

So I'm hiring a DJ
For the eve of our destruction, yeah
It was midnight, I was mixed up
When she found me on the beach

I think I'm running low on inspiration
She's running long on borrowed time

We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor, she takes her shots

Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts

My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts

I think I'm running short on inspiration
She's running long on borrowed time

We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor, she takes her shots

Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts

My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts

My racing thoughts
(She can read my, she can read my)
(She can read my racing thoughts)
My racing thoughts, my racing thoughts
(She can read my, she can read my)
(She can read my racing thoughts)

She can read my, she can read my
She can read my racing thoughts
She can read my, she can read my
She can read my racing thoughts

She can read my, she can read my
She can read my racing thoughts
She can read my, she can read my
She can read my racing thoughts
