They Might Be Giants - 9 Secret Steps lyrics

rate me

Throw away the things that tell you

Now to throw the thing away

You’ll forget to rue the day

You went ahead and threw the thing away

9 secret steps, to the key to the door

That you’ll throw in the well

And let go of all your thwarted dreams,

Ambitions of success

Amputate the thought that says

You shouldn’t ever amputate a thought

You’ll be overwrought until

You go ahead and amputate the thought

Nine secret steps

To unlock the potential

To fore go the knowledge

Of what can be attained as long

As nothing’s ever gained

I can’t tell you what’s in secre step five

You will know when you’re no longer alive

Inhume your gloom with a tomb

Confine your mind behind a line

There’s only glood outside your room

Confine your mind behind a line

9 secret steps, to the key to the door

That you’ll throw in the well

And let go of all your thwarted dreams,

let go of all your thwarted dreams,

let go of all your thwarted dreams,

Of all your thwarted dreams.
