about

This is a love song for my wife, Michelle. It was inspired by her photos of human brains, and her excitement about telling me about the parts of the brain.

lyrics

(verse one)
she might be seen
takin' photos of your brain
and then
she'll knit a brain to match the couch
and don't slouch
she'll want to rest her head on your shoulder
and talk about the brain

(chorus)
cerebellum
coordination
frontal lobe
the milk's gone bad
sensory cortex
won't you itch this scratch
won't you scratch this rash
the brainstem
let me take your pulse
won't you stay awake?
I'm up -
I move a bit too slow
which brings me to the
temporal lobe
hear those cries across the globe

(verse two)
she likes big words
and when she uses them she smiles
and waits
waits for me to congratulate
I wonder if she's seen little man tate
she'll want to rest her head on your shoulder
and talk about the brain

(chorus)

(outro)
cries across the globe
it seems
she knows about my mind
and she'll try to find
just what makes me tick
I think she knows some tricks
