White Denim – There's A Brain In My Head lyrics

[Intro]
One, a-two, a-one, two, three

Before I was even a child
You could guess that I was gonna turn out wild
By taking’ a look at my mom and papa
No, no, nobody could teach me a thing
You see, my ears were shing-a-ling-ling
Uh, if you looked at me wrong
Man, I was gonna try to stop ya

[Chorus]
See, there’s a brain in my head
But there’s a stone where my heart should be
If you’re looking’ for answers
Man, don’t look at me

[Verse 2]
Oh, how could you love me when
(love me when)
Indifference is my only friend
(my only)
And when I’m in her arms
I feel no past or future
I wanna be just like you
(just like you)
But I’m blinded by the truth
(blinded)
And my love is [?]
This proud illusion

[Chorus]
See, there’s a brain in my head
But there’s a stone where my heart should be
Oh, when you’re looking’ for answers
Man, don’t look at me
See, there’s a brain in my head
There’s a stone where my heart should be
Oh, when you’re lookin’ for answers
Man, don’t look at me

[Verse 3]
Allow me to defile
A couple of things that you find worthwhile
Oh, if you’re stickin’ around
Then don’t leave until I blessed you
So many reasons to be
A baby toy tied to your string
Ah, I’m playin’ it cool
But, man, I’m gonna let it past you

[Chorus]
See, there’s a brain in my head
But there’s a stone where my heart should be
Oh, when you’re looking’ for answers
Man, don’t look at me
There’s a brain in my head
But there’s a stone where my heart should be
Oh, when you’re lookin’ for answers
Man, don’t look at me
