Brains

from the album I Hope It Lands

audio sample 

lyrics written by Brian Hageman


It was late and it was raining when I looked outside.
Brains without bodies were scattered on the street outside.
They held:
       Seas without shores
       Storms from horn bells
       Brains!

Suddenly a suited man in an odd Nixon face jumped through my window and checked my head.
He said, fear:
       Seas without shores
       Storms from horn bells
       Fear brains!
       The terror! The horror!

I have no fear of falling brains
As a matter of fact I'd like to try
I'd like to see the shoreless seas
I'd like to be within the horn's bell

Checkpoints now check folks for these brains from above.
To lay an understanding hand and watch the lamp's light as it pans for signs of:
       Seas without shores
       Storms from horn bells
       Fear brains!
       The terror! The horror!
