The Stranglers

Brainbox

I want to know the secret
Of life and the universe
So I asked of Caesarââ?¬â?¢s daughter
But she didnââ?¬â?¢t say a word

Now the word was there beforehand
Before all the evil speak
Itââ?¬â?¢s both way you say amd how you say
And sometimes it sounds so cheap

But I donââ?¬â?¢t care what you say
Itââ?¬â?¢s in the brainbox
Itââ?¬â?¢s in your breadbox
Itââ?¬â?¢s in your dreadlocks
Itââ?¬â?¢s in my red socks

I saked the Delphic virgins
Whatââ?¬â?¢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 thights 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

Itââ?¬â?¢s in the brainbox
Itââ?¬â?¢s in the full stop
Itââ?¬â?¢s in the dreadlocks
Itââ?¬â?¢s in the dead, dead, dead fox

Itââ?¬â?¢s in the brainbox
