Shel Silverstein
Drain My Brain

[Chorus]
Unwind my mind
Baby, drain my brain
Unscrew my head
Take apart my heart
Scrape away the pain
And start all over again

[Verse]
I tell you, baby
I don't understand
Just how you can make love to me
While you're lookin' at the picture of another man
You got me talkin' to my elbow
Climbin' up the wall
First you tell me you despise me
Then you say you idolize me
Then you say you can't use me at all

[Chorus]
Unwind my mind
Baby, drain my brain
Unscrew my head
Take apart my heart
Scrape away the pain
And start all over again
[Verse]
I tell you, baby
I just can't go on
The hung up way that we're livin'
While I'm doin' all the givin'
You keep on callin' me John
First you messin' with Charlie
Then you jivin' with Jim
And I know you need a father
But I really cannot bother
Bein' all those other guys plus him

[Chorus]
Unwind my mind
Baby, drain my brain
Yeah, unscrew my head
Take apart my heart
Scrape away the pain
And start all over again
Baby, unwind my mind
Sever my spine
Yeah, unroll my soul
