Lyrics

They Said That It Couldn?t Be Done

I?ll be looking for the magic of a free bound soul
When this living everyday starts to take its toll
I heaped a mountain of praise on a woman for days
?Til the dust settled in my eyes
But when you?re living with the feeling that the world?s getting old
Well then you?re looking for a big surprise
I think its all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
I?ve got it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done

When I woke up in the morning there was someone in the bed
That I know I wouldn?t recognize
And as I came to myself the clock struck twelve
And she and opened up her eyes, then she said:
?How do you like your eggs, scrambled or fried?
I looked right through her and I told her that I couldn?t decide
?Cause when you can?t get back to innocence
You start to feel you?re having too much fun
I think its all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
I?ve got it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done

Well I began to dig a hole but there?s nowhere to go
Since they took away the underground
I made a telephone call through a hole in the wall
But there was nobody left around
So I hung the phone I think I?ll go it alone
Until the feeling can be found
I think its all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
I?ve got it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done

I could take her or leave her ?til I came down with the fever
Of beginning something very new
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away
But now I know it isn?t true
It?s just something that they sell on a hayride into hell
There?s nothing that I?d rather do
Than keep it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
I?ve got it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done

Well I woke up in the morning there was someone in the bed
That I know I wouldn?t recognize
And as I came to myself the clock struck twelve
And she and opened up her eyes, then she said:
?How do you like your eggs, scrambled or fried?
I looked right through her and I told her that I couldn?t decide
?Cause when you can?t get back to innocence
Well then you might as well enjoy the ride
I think its all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
I?ve got it all in my head since they said that it couldn?t be done
