Brainfade

(album: Under The Influence - 1988)

Spit it out, suck it in
Let that genius flow
All the answers to all the questions
There's nothing you don't know
Experience is an asset
When you've done most anything
Just call it intuition
Just call it anything

Watch him fade
The jack of all trades
Backed against the wall
Watch him fade
He's quite afraid
To contradict it all

I know you like a book
I know all the lies
I know, that you know
Your mouth is catching flies
Blank expression, a burnt out bulb
A thimble full of wit
Endless stories never follow
In short you're full of shit

Watch him fade
The jack of all trade
Backed against that wall
To an all but captive audience
Watch out
Here it comes
Brainfade

Take a minute to think
Brainfade
Stop flapping your gums
Brainfade
You're getting in deep
Brainfade
And I'm falling asleep

When you're talking to me
Brainfade
It's easy to see
Brainfade
That what comes outta your mouth
Brainfade
I can't believe

"Hey you know, you ain't gonna believe
This is what really happened last night
Vegas, I went out there, I went, I lost a hundred bucks
I go all the way back to the RV, right?
I get back, I don't even drink any times
I got another hundred bucks, I didn't wanna be screwed up
I finally won all my money back. Unbelievable...
By the way, what the hell did you guys do with all the towels?
I'm gonna have to explain this to the desk clerk."

Spit it out, suck it in
Let that genius flow
All the answers to all the questions
There's nothing you don't know
Blank expression, a burnt out bulb
A thimble full of wit
Endless stories never follow
In short you're full of shit

Watch him fade
The jack of all trades
Backed against the wall
Watch him fade
He's quite afraid
He'll contradict it all

Watch him fade
The jack of all trades
Up against that wall
Watch him fade
He's quite afraid
He'll contradict it all
