lyrics

BRAIN TODAY

Why would you tell me lies?
How you so un-organised?
You are just as culpable as me. Your turn.
Today it’s number one.

Brain.
Brain.
Today.

And we see the light of a thousand suns.
And we hear the pall of the nurse’s gun.
And we breathe the hug of our ugly sons.
And we touch the sky till the day is done, done.

Why would you tell me lies?
How you so un-organised?
You are just as culpable as me. Your turn.
Today it’s number one.

Brain.
Brain.
Today.

And we see the light of a thousand suns.
And we hear the pall of the nurse’s gun.
And we breathe the hug of our ugly sons.
And we touch the sky till the day is done, done.
