Things You Think Lyrics

Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.

Did you know that Dickens invented 13,000 characters? 13,000! That's a character a day for the whole of his working life. What have I done today? Dropped the kids off at school, listened to the new National album, played a stupid game on my computer; That's why I'm not Dickens, kids. Dicken's wife would have done the school run. I'm all for feminism but it's cost me my one shot at immortality.

Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.

In 1450 there were about 100 new books published. Last year there more than a million. A new book comes out every 30 seconds. It would take me 15 years just to read the titles of every book ever printed. And you're going to watch tv tonight? Fair enough, I suppose.

Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
try to make sense of the things that you think.

Our universe consists of between 30 to 50 billion trillion stars arranged in 80 to 140 billion galaxies. Our nearest neighboring star is called Proximus Centauri and it's 4 light years away. We need some bread but it's really hot outside and I can't be bothered to walk around the corner.

Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
Smoke your little smoke and drink your little drink
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
and try to make sense of the things that you think.
try to make sense of the things that you think.
try to make sense of the things that you think.
