==Background==
"Too Many Thoughts in My Head" began as a song sketch (of the chorus) recorded by Cuomo at Cole Rehearsal Studios in 1997Heisel, Scott. Black Album bio - November 2018 or 1998. This recording was released to fans as part of the digital compilation Alone VI: The Black Room in 2020. Cuomo revisited the song in October of 2013. Demos from this period were released as part of the demo compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years in 2020, and feature what would eventually become the final song's coda.
The song was revisited again in 2018 and was ultimately included on Black Album (released in 2019). The song's bridge melody is lifted from the melody of a previous Cuomo composition, "Kimi wa saikuron" ("君はサイクロン," You Are a Cyclone) by Scott & Rivers (Cuomo's Japanese side-project with musician Scott Murphy). The lyrics for "Too Many Thoughts in My Head" also feature multiple phrases lifted from disparate sources. For example, "Going where the weather suits my clothes" is from the song "," by (and popularized by Harry Nilsson). The line "Boy found brains he never knew he had" is taken from the 1994 film (the Black Album song "I'm Just Being Honest" also borrows a line from the film). The line "I'm really tired of this shit" is spoken by actor in the 1999 film American Beauty.

Stay up reading Mary Poppins
Overwhelmed by Netflix options
Boy found brains he never knew he had
Meet me there in Runyon Canyon
Fuel up, bitch, there's no more slackin'
Moses looks upon the promised land
I'm so high on cookies it's insane
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can't get out of my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
'Cause there's too many thoughts in my head, now
I can't get out of my brain
Tried to get my thoughts on paper
Comb my hair like I'm a gangster
Gotta do the dog and pony show
Algorithms sure ain't helping
Prefrontal cortex is melting
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
I'm so high on Chopra it's insane
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can't get out of my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
'Cause there's too many thoughts in my head, now
I can't get out of my brain
I never wanted to be lonely
I never thought that life would turn out like this
I never thought that I'd feel empty
I'm really tired of this Lawrence Welk shit
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can't get out of my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
Nothing can titillate me
Dried up like a dead battery
Throw me upon the heap
Gonna be reused but it won't be me
Can't seem to get connected
What was the name of the network?
Dumb bots with a dumb program
I need a lover with a little more RAM
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can't get out of my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
|-|Demo (Alone XI)=
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can’t get out of my brain
Running around in big circles
Feel like I’m going insane
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can’t get out of my brain
Running around in big circles
Feel like I’m going insane
Bunkered at my computer
Scared stiff of a pervert user
My mom will print this text 
So you better not think
If you wanna have sex
Our friends are in the bar
We could go but it’s so damn far
Used up and then abandoned
Leave it all to the next generation
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can’t get out of my brain
Running around in big circles
Feel like I’m going insane
Nothing can titillate me
Dried up like a dead battery
Throw me upon the heap
Gonna be reused but it won't be me
Can't seem to get connected
What was the name of the network?
Dumb bots with a dumb program
I need a lover with a little more RAM
Too many thoughts in my head now
I can’t get out of my brain
Running around in big circles
Feel like I’m going insane
|-|Demo (ver. 9)=
I stayed up reading Mary Poppins
Overwhelmed by Netflix options
I tried to find a way to clear my mind
I took a walk in Runyon Canyon
Scared to death of mountain lions
Poison oak might eat my flesh and eye
I'm so high on cookies it's insane
Too many thoughts in my head now
Running around in my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
'Cause there's too many thoughts in my head, now
Running around in my brain
I tried to get them down on paper
But they're too fast, like "see you later"
Could you be my court stenographer 
Mass media isn't helping
Zap my circuits till they're melting
Purell kills only 99% of germs
I'm so high on Chopra it's insane
Too many thoughts in my head now
Running around in my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
I had a funky night and my brain needs a break
'Cause there's too many thoughts in my head, now
Running around in my brain
Lonely
I never thought that life would turn out like this
I never thought that I'd feel empty
I'm really tired of this Lawrence Welk shit
Too many thoughts in my head now
Running around in my brain
They got me running in circles
Feel like I'm going insane
Nothing can titillate me
Dried up like a dead battery
Throw me upon the heap
Gonna be reused but it won't be me
Can't seem to get connected
What was the name of the network?
Dumb bots with a dumb program
I need a lover with a little more RAM
Funky night and my brain needs 
Funky night and my brain needs 
Funky night and my brain needs 
Funky night and my brain needs
