Lyrics Tryin' Not To Think About It - J. Geils Band

Tryin' Not To Think About It

Three years in the ice box
Three years with no air
The knife cuts through in every direction
And the teeth of time, they don’t care
Face down in the river, too loyal to black
She’s goin' on trail and there’s trouble out there
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it (oh yeah)
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it (oh yeah)
Red screams in the mailbox
Blue dreams on my phone
Bad legs, neurosis, your real lost doses
Four walls, no lights, hold on
The future grows cold as friends disappear
Don’t move its no use, cause the night is right here
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it, huh huh (oh yeah)
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it, try so hard, help me up
The sniper old hand as he slowly takes aim
Why didn’t they tell me the rules of the game?
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it, huh (oh yeah)
Try, try, I’m tryin' not to think about it, yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
