about

The Brain Song serves an educational purpose. It provides the definitive lowdown on the ins and outs of physical intimacy.

lyrics

The brain is locked inside the skull where life is very dull
Jammed like slugs in Tupperware it's squirming to get OUT, OUT, OUT

Sick of sucking news out of the eyeballs and the nostrils
Second hand sensations just have never been eNOUGH, NOUGH, NOUGH

Longs to meet another brain without the use of buffers
Dreaming, scheming, SCREAMING for some unimpeded LOVE

Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain

And even when your pretty brain box bangs up against mine
And lips touch lips and nerve-ends meet: CONTACT - SIGNAL, SIGNAL, SIG...

Our brains are still so far apart, oh cruel separation
Telegraphing loneliness through miles and miles of NERVES, NERVES, NERVES

Sick of sucking love out of the earlobes and the tongue
Our brains move in their wooden jars and PLAN on getting OUT

Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain

They PLOT to make our bodies slide you sex piece over mine
Air-locked like two starships snuggly joined in outer SPACE, SPACE, SPACE

Then we both depressurize; two funnels open up
Two causeways from our heads down to those magic little DOORS, DOORS, DOORS

Both our brains go plunging just like garbage down a chute
To slosh against each other and to MIN...GLE, MIN...GLE, MIN...GLE

Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain (oodla oodla oodla oodla)
Oozing out the brain
