Prosthetic Brain (1999)

[Verse 1]
I could be a politician
Roll my socks up and go fishin'
Put my money in a box and bury it forever
I could be a television
Turn me on while you are fishin'
Listen to the weatherman and learn about the weather

[Chorus]
Prosthetic brain
Running backwards in the rain
Like a train
Going back to where it came from
Empty now and lighter than it once was
A fine analogy

[Verse 2]
I could be a mastodon
Run around with nothing on
Living like an icicle, a frozen stick of water
I could be a brontosaurus
Much too big to use the door-us
Making songs and chewing on a frozen stick of water

[Chorus]
Prosthetic brain
Running backwards in the rain
Like a train
Going back to where it came from
Empty now and lighter than it once was
A fine analogy

[Bridge]
This is my synaptic artificiality, you see

[Chorus]
Prosthetic brain
Running backwards in the rain
Like a train
Going back to where it came from
Empty now and lighter than it once was
A fine analogy, for my

[Chorus]
Prosthetic brain (Locomotive, coal car)
Running backwards in the rain (Dining car, sleeping car)
Like a train (Locomotive, coal car)
Going back to where it came from (Dining car, sleeping car)
Empty now and lighter than it once was (Empty now and lighter for the places it has been)
A fine analogy, for my (Empty now and lighter for the places it has been)

[Chorus]
Prosthetic brain
Running backwards in the rain
Like a train
Going back to where it came from
Empty now and lighter than it once was (Empty now and lighter for the places it has been)
A fine analogy (Empty now and lighter for the places it has been)
