The Strange Mind Of Phineas Gage - Diemonsterdie

It takes a certain kind of man

So though that they can tame a land

To drive those silver rails across the plains

Through scorching heat and wintertime

The hammers fell in ceaseless time

A relentless juggernaut beyond compare

But one man lived

Legendary for everything he did

A man known as Phineas Gage

So tall and strong with features fine

The ladies swooned when he’d walk by

In his bed the harlots he’d tame

Of all the men who ever lived

The slaves who built the pyramids

Had nothing on Phineas Gage

He was the man who would not die

How is it that he’s still alive?

The strange mind of Phineas Gage

His sliver rod’s blown through his head

A gaping hole, He should be dead

But Phineas got back to his feet

The silver rod he’d custom made

Was found 300 yards away

Red and slicked with Phineas' brains

With doctor’s help

They reattached his skull and scalp

And he swore that he never felt pain

He went insane, he lost his mind

Impulse control he’d left behind

Obscenities he screamed into the night

Of all the men who ever lived

The slaves who built the pyramids

Had nothing on Phineas Gage

He was the man who would not die

How is it that he’s still alive?
