Thoughtless Behavior Lyrics
I went off in the cruel word like a gun in a crowded room
I went off in the cruel word like a gun in a crowded room
It was through all these crude soldiers I learned to howl at the moon
I spread my seed like a farm boy, I shined my light like a lamp
I spread my seed like a farm boy, I shined my light like a lamp
I didn't know where I was going, no one was calling me champ
They didn't get what I was meaning, 'til I stopped meaning too much
They didn't get what I was meaning, 'til I stopped meaning too much
They didn't know that I was dreaming, 'til I was cold to the touch
You know I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her
I said I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her
I would have stayed there forever, 'cause no one knew who we were
I folded into her shoulder, I dreamed of missing a train
I folded into her shoulder, I dreamed of missing a train
Then all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again
Soon all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again
I went off in the cruel word like a gun in a crowded room
It was through all these crude soldiers I learned to howl at the moon
I spread my seed like a farm boy, I shined my light like a lamp
I didn't know where I was going, no one was calling me champ
They didn't get what I was meaning, 'til I stopped meaning too much
They didn't know that I was dreaming, 'til I was cold to the touch
I said I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her
I would have stayed there forever, 'cause no one knew who we were
I folded into her shoulder, I dreamed of missing a train
Then all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again
Soon all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again

I just love this song. My favorite verse is
"You know I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her I said I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her I would have stayed there forever, 'cause no one knew who we were"
My wife is from a very wealthy family and a 'big' name in the city where we went to college. She wanted to get out of there so bad. After we graduated and left, I was playing this song, she cried, and said that was exactly how she felt.
