Brainscan - Hoodoo Gurus

You see me before I get a chance to run

You ask me

(Rob): Dave, where have you been?

How come I only get your 'phone machine?

(Dave): The answer should be obvious to anyone

(Rob) I told you more times than I care to recall

I’d get more reaction talking to a wall

(Dave): It’s no crime to be dumb

Just don’t parade it for everyone

And act like you’re such a goddamn know-it at

You know-nothing-at-all

(Rob) Your friends call you «shit-for-brains»

You’re full of shit, that might explain

But I think it’s even less your head contains

(Rob) I go to the beach to catch a little sun

(Dave): You see me before I get a chance to run

(Rob): I only feel contempt for you

You and your room temperature I. Q

(Dave): Well look at you — you’re just a big black hole of fun

(Rob) You need a brainscan to convince me you’re not dead

(Dave): You need a brainscan and hope they learn to transplant a head

(Both): Brainscan!

Brainscan!

I don’t know how — how you survive

I don’t know how — how you survive

I don’t know how you —

You’re alive
