it put you to your knees when you were teen
a vodka tonic downed under the sun
then swigs of other drinks untill you would lean
on what you learned to know as adult fun

Europe we were growing we grew tall
separate but we stopped at the same length
we both dated girls considered small
skinny dipping in a summer knowing no shame

the bunker hosts the hours when the drink is done
a pen you slip to watch it roll away
the adolescence aftermath the end of fun
wish i could hold your brain for just one day

hold your brain on day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your brain
hold your brain one day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your euro orphan brain
try to hold your brain (hold brain one day)
hold your brain one day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your euro orphan brain

form these insane emotions into something
try to do the program step ahead
a will to sync with you for just to be there
meet me at the track where you first bled
i taught you how to separate you legs
and how to trust the soft turning hard
how to breathe with me count down from ten
we said that after this we'd never part


eyeball some were way ahead where are they now
didnt you see my offer didnt you read
should we go back and step it thru together
memories saved differently in different speed

hold your brain on day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your brain
hold your brain one day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your euro orphan brain
try to hold your brain (hold brain one day)
hold your brain one day (hold brain one day)
try to hold your euro orphan brain

As it holds term so brotherly I go for some amphetamine. Lying back in the hammock of late summer openfaced and let it kick. Thirty minutes and the hammock is dear as an old lover. I praise and chew. Its the restless that doesnt move, all thought. The body becomes the hammock becomes the basket for juicy fruit to fall into. I know how these fruits know time better than we do. Time is all they got. Juicy fruit, ripe and ready to give in.

hold brain one day
