Brain Drain - The Lightning Seeds

Sometimes I feel really glad

Looking back at the fun we’ve had

But sometimes I want so much more

Than this tug of war

I’m longing for

Swinging scenes in magazines

They’re just distant dreams now

Some say it feels really bad

When those vicious tongues, begin to wag

But somehow all those paper lies

Just anaesthetise the passers by The faceless clowns that put me down

Don’t bring me down

I’m lost inside this brain drain

Taking me over

Somehow, I get to play the fame game

Lost inside this brain drain

I used to long for

A call to action, a strange attraction

Somehow I’m not ready for

Feeling bored and wanting more

The radio plays like a uniform

And dips you brains in chloroform

They’re so concerned

The spoken word

Seems so absurd

I’m lost inside this brain drain

Taking me over

Somehow, I get to play the fame game

Lost inside this brain drain

I used to long for

A call to action, a strange attraction

It’s never the way it goes

Just in time, too late to know

I’ve realised

I’m lost inside

I’m mesmerised

I’m lost inside this brain drain

Taking me over

Somehow, I get to play the fame game

Lost inside this brain drain

I used to long for
