Lyrics Brainscan - Hoodoo Gurus

Brainscan

You see me before I get a chance to run
You ask me
(Rob): Dave, where have you been?
How come I only get your 'phone machine?
(Dave): The answer should be obvious to anyone
(Rob) I told you more times than I care to recall
I’d get more reaction talking to a wall
(Dave): It’s no crime to be dumb
Just don’t parade it for everyone
And act like you’re such a goddamn know-it at
You know-nothing-at-all
(Rob) Your friends call you «shit-for-brains»
You’re full of shit, that might explain
But I think it’s even less your head contains
(Rob) I go to the beach to catch a little sun
(Dave): You see me before I get a chance to run
(Rob): I only feel contempt for you
You and your room temperature I. Q
(Dave): Well look at you — you’re just a big black hole of fun
(Rob) You need a brainscan to convince me you’re not dead
(Dave): You need a brainscan and hope they learn to transplant a head
(Both): Brainscan!
Brainscan!
I don’t know how — how you survive
I don’t know how — how you survive
I don’t know how you —
You’re alive
