Nails claw the walls after the sun goes down Fingertips bleed as the night plays out The lunatics are running the asylum now Amidst the pallbearers, postmen and white collar clown If I only had a brain Now my heart's a big old grave Could've been I've gone insane If I only had a brain Goodbye tomorrow and inevitable sorrow I refuse to beg or borrow so fuck you and tomorrow The future grew dark, an abyss, as black as Jackie Kennedy's funeral dress Desert Island, shipwrecked soul caged behind arthritic bones If I only had a brain Now my heart's a big old grave Could've been I've gone insane If I only had a brain Ever since I forgot to care It's utter bliss being unaware Walking towards a speeding train If I only had a brain My heart's a big old grave Jump right in, jump right in What is this madness that controls the weather? Shortness of breath, in over my head The hands of death Load up your guns You raped and pillaged You had your fun Cold black steel Gag reflexive Swallow and fire away Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten Life is but a dream And dreams will be forgotten
