[Verse 1]
When you kissed my hand and passed the note
I wondered how you wrote at all
My side of the bed won't rest tonight
When you first walked in evening air
A lullaby went through my head
My side of the bed won't rest tonight
Rest tonight
[Chorus]
But I can't stand
Another case of the brain that got away
It's in your hands - take a dip in the moonlight
Or drink iced tea tonight
Wallowing, wallowing
In my cells
Their aged wisdom will try to kill you
Take care of yourself
Of yourself
Take care of yourself
[Verse 2]
Surgeons operate without their eyes
It's much simpler to see inside
The frozen shell of a body now
So lick a stamp and post me off
So that I can ride the journey of
A noble man
I'll sleep if I can
[Chorus]
But I can't stand
Another case of the brain that got away
It's in your hands, take a dip in the moonlight
And drink iced tea tonight
Wallowing, wallowing
In my cells
Their naked freedom will try to kill you
Take care of yourself
Of yourself
Take care of yourself
Of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
[Refrain]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh...
Ah, ah, ah, ah..
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
[Chorus]
But I can't stand
Another case of the brain that got away
It's in your hands - take a dip in the moonlight
Or drink iced tea tonight
Wallowing, wallowing
In my cells
Their naked freedom will try to kill you
Take care of yourself
