Take a simple little truth
and you turn it around
green purple and blue
now muddied and brown
I did that, did that
threw it over the river
as a matter of fact
all the while
the river bottom I sat

The more I think
the less I know
a harmless idea
it starts to grow
what was fictitious
purely superstitious
has turned out to be
a thought that was malicious
and you've turned your
dear friend into a dear foe

(replacement lyrics)

I did this
I did that
My bowl of truth
I call the cat in the hat
try an catch my sanity
with attention intact


...
festers in my head
I complicate the words
turn friend into foe
