Brainiac

Lyrics

My uncle George had a Great Dane Who chewed a paw off in Connecticut When I walk into a room I'm not afraid to feel feminine I've never done heroin Well I've never done much of that And though I may appear likable I'm merely trying to remember I'm not on fire Oh no, mom, my collarbone again My father took me mountain climbing I've got a picture to show to you My grandma lived in Florida And her front lawn hurt my bare feet I've never tried to kill a cricket With a firecracker on the Fourth of July I've never done pretty much anything That didn't have productive quality What a goddamn liar Even though you taught me to love my body Even though I'll never be Italian I won't forget: People who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head It may not be your imagination If you think I'm looking at you with contempt I wish it could be different But occasionally I'm cruel I get down I can't help but think I've long buried A horrible childhood memory And why do I keep on dreaming About the queen of fourth grade Cheryl Englehart? And what I lack in aphrodisiac I think I make up for in appetite I'm a young John Wayne Even though you fuck me on my birthday Even though I'm an advocate of hygiene I won't forget: People who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head Even though you make my bed like mom did Even though I really don't know how to be a friend I won't forget: People who act confident go far I've got a brain in my head I've got a brain in my head
