Hold That Thought Songtext
von Ben Folds Five

She broke down and cried at the strip mall acupuncturist while the world went on outside
The Chinese doctor took her arm, gazed at the floor and read her wrist for the secrets in her life
"Here′s your medicine," she said, "If you not smile at him, then someone else will"

You hold that thought and I'll hold that thought, too


I was shown the 36 ways I′m not available on a simple, easy chart
And later on that evening on the beach in Santa Monica, it was a very risky start
Suppose the stupid chart is right, in a year, will you still feel the same way?

Ah, well, you hold that thought and I'll hold that thought, too

Did you ever see the film where a man is given spectacles that make the world look upside-down?
He falls about the place, but in time, he somehow readjusts
And when they take the glasses off, the eyes he's always had see sky below him and he falls again

Ah, but you hold that thought and I′ll hold that thought
You hold that thought and I′ll hold that thought
You hold that thought and I'll hold that thought
