MIDDLE 8 — Same as Verse but at half speed.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow’s gonna bring a smile back home again
Images of palm trees sway in the wind on south beach
Thinking back to better days, summer rays, the Everglades in June
Bridge
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
CHORUS
Drinking myself to sleep again
Now these pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia
Verse 2
Flying high in golden skies, I’m flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Coopers break
Takes me back to eighty-four, the future’s knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
CHORUS X2
Middle 8
Turning off the switch inside me
Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streets and houses
Passing over, no-one dying
Takes me back to eighty-four
The future’s knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
CHORUS X3
