Lyrics:
Incredible thoughts
Incredible minds
I'm so overwhelmed
How did my brain conceive them?
A snow-white dove in the pitch-black night
A rain drop falls from tremendous heights
A wave crashes off of a cliff in Scotland
A child bites an apple, but the core is rotten
TV is free, but what is the cost?
We have GPS and yet, we're still lost
A carrot in the desert, a camel in the garden
A man with giant ears begging your pardon
What if a garbage man was actually smart?
A common misconception that we're tearing apart
And to a dog, dog food is just food
And to a sock, a mansion's just a big shoe
A Milk Dud, sitting in the acid rain
A housecat addicted to the cocaine
No teeth, unlimited floss
These are just a few of our incredible thoughts
Incredible thoughts, incredible mind
Too many great ideas inside
It's a miracle my head can contain them
My spectacular brain
For all humankind
Changing how we think about space and time
Now it's time to share them with the people
A ballerina waits for the bus
A number-one dad trophy covered in rust
A nun dunks a basketball living the impossible
A man breaks his leg inside a hospital
We just thought of that and it can change the world
...
What if a butterfly was made out of butter?
These small thoughts could destroy Big Brother
The world's cutest kitten just hugging a dog
Just one of many of our incredible thoughts
What if one thought could cure the people?
What if one song could end all evil?
...
I swear my mind blows my mind, incredible
Incredible thoughts, incredible mind
Too many great ideas inside
It's a miracle my head can contain them
My spectacular brain
For all humankind
Changing how we think about space and time
Now it's time to share them with the people, my brain is a genius
Incredible thoughts
Incredible minds
I'm so overwhelmed
How did my brain conceive them?
