lyrics

I Wasn’t Brain-Dead
verses by Jeff Olson / choruses by Ellen Mizell
©1998

Poked a paperclip in my eye
Stuck some Band-Aids over my ears
Put a trombone to my lips
And I walked into your house

I wasn't brain-dead
Just had too much on my mind
Now I come to realize
There's nothing I can’t find

But you had lost your sight
So the joke was all on me
Though I played a little tune
You asked me to leave

darling, I wern't brain-dead
Just had too much on my mind
Now I come to realize
There's nothing I can’t find

Now I'm hiding under your sink
And the smell is pretty bad
Your plumbing really needs some work
But it's just too dark to see

I wasn't brain-dead
Just had too much on my mind
Now I come to realize
There's nothing I can’t find

I'll use the trombone for a pipe
Bind it up with my Band-Aids
Use the paperclip for solder
And you'll never see me again

darling, I wern't brain-dead
Just had too much on my mind
Now I come to realize
There's nothing I can’t find
