Merle - Strange Brain Lyrics

It's like any other day in the life
He wakes after staring through the night
No sleep, no rest
Just the rise and fall of his chest
Eyes glued open by thoughts that live and breathe
So he opens a window
Reads a book and watches some TV
Then pushes back the covers like the weight of a stone
Goes downstairs
When the light begins to glare
It streams through his hair
The toast pops up
He pulls out a chair
Marmite or peanut butter?
That's the question

You have a strange brain
A strange brain
What are the things you feel?
What are the things you think
What are the words unspoken or broken with a blink?
You have a strange brain
A strange brain
A brain so strange

He looks out of the window
His right side blurred
Born with a blessing, not a curse
What does he see?
Is it sunny or cloudy?
A purple world with upside down trees?
Maybe he goes out
Maybe not
He sits at the piano and joins up the dots
Beautiful hands spread over black and white
With melody everything seems alright
But is it really alright?

You have a strange brain
A strange brain
What are the things you feel?
What are the things you think
What are the words unspoken or broken with a blink?
You have a strange brain
A strange brain
A brain so strange

Strange brain
(Love and pain and strange, strange brains)

Strange brain
A brain so strange
