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 clowns

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, so 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

If it seems I forgot to care
It's all the bliss, being unaware
Walking t'wards 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
