Lyrics
[Verse 1] You know what's wrong with me You know phrenology You saw my injury You can tell just by looking at my skull [Chorus] Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first 'Cause it made me limerent [Verse 2] When my head was hit I bounced away from it Or as someone who is craniosophic would say The brain went the opposite way [Chorus] Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first 'Cause the first one woke my feelings for you But the contrecoup made my words untrue And it left me limerent [Bridge] Which is to say, how it goes Couched in terms no one knows And as if the choice were slim As if there's no synonym [Verse 1] You know what's wrong with me You know phrenology You saw my injury You can tell just by looking at my skull [Chorus] Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first Though the impulse is strong, the connection is weak And I know what to say but forgot how to speak When it made me limerent
