Brainbox - The Stranglers

I want to know the secret

Of life and the universe

So I asked of Caesar’s daughter

But she didn’t say a word

Now the word was there beforehand

Before all the evil speak

It’s both what you say and how you say

And sometimes it sounds so cheap

But I don’t care what you say

It’s in the brainbox

It’s in your brainbox

It’s in your dreadlocks

It’s in my red socks

I asked the Delphic Virgins

What’s in the stars today

And I grabbed a slightly lapsed one

And took her home to play

Now that was no solution

To my enquiring mind

Her thighs had not the answer

I was trying to find

Repeat chorus

He seemed like an old timer

With the knowing hands of a god

He found water in my desert

Without the aid of a rod

Repeat chorus

It’s in the brainbox

It’s in the full stop

It’s in the dreadlocks

It’s in the dead, dead, dead fox

It in the brainbox

Brainbox
