About This Track

"Our Dying Brains" is a track by Grandaddy, from the album Through a Frosty Plate Glass, released 29th May 2000. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Our Dying Brains

The Science Halls

Have hollow walls

And sodden carpet

At least the cops don't come in

Spare us the legal poems

Broken legs can't run anyway

Yeah

Some days were missed

Ten-kegs at Albers

And Albers turns into Geer

And hours become years

We'll get back to work

Right back to work, I swear

Our beakers are still full of beer

Crotch rockets

And violins

We chiseled and we switched

Naw, but they're not going to mix

So, please, can our dying brains

Take another break?
