This Thing

Lyrics

[MAX] What is this thing I'm feeling? Bubbling up inside me? Lifting me toward the ceiling? Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy [NEIGHBOR, spoken] Hey, shut up! People live here! [MAX] What is this sound I'm hearing? Is it a bell to guide me? Out of thin air appearing? Dorothy, Dorothy, Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-- [NEIGHBOR, spoken] Hey! Shut up! Shut the fuck up! [MAX] What is this thing that makes me toss in my bed? 'Cause I'm racked with distracting desires This thing, God it's jammed in my head Like a nail and I can't find the pliers "Get it out", I exclaim Then I think of your name And I feel like a moth Heading right for the female moth That moth is you What can I do? What is this thing that I'm feeling? It's odd. You're so old, I'm so young And my abs are like slabs of fine granite My bod' is like gold, and I'm hung And you're old, oh I said that, but damn it I don't care you're not thin You're under my skin I know something special's About to be starting real soon I'm over the moon What is this thing? What is this thing? This thing has me worried and scared But it's finally time to reveal it It's right and it's big and it wants to be shared And I need you to reach down and feel it Yes I will love you forever No I'm not bashful to prove it [MICHAEL (AS DOROTHY), spoken] Is that me? [MAX] Yes it's a little infected No I will never remove it This thing will remain like a permanent stain Like a voice that keeps taunting a haunting refrain Like that wonderful spike that you drove in my brain This thing This thing Called you
