Obstinate Brain Lyrics

There are a couple of thoughts that storm the gates

Every time I open my eyes late

In the morning

I'm not yet quite awake

But my mind is already going

The first is the last image of your face

A file I keep on trying to erase

But it's grown

A record of its own

It self-duplicates

I don't want you

I don't need you

That is all that I've been saying

I could forget that I've seen you

If it wasn't for my

Obstinate brain

There were a couple of things I couldn't say

When last we spoke at Adelaide and Bay

Just then the cross light changed

And we both had to get going

To be fair

I didn't ask you to wait

To be honest

I didn't even want it

I just wanted you to

Turn around and

Hunt me down and

Throw me in a bus right out of town

I don't want you

I don't need you

That is all that I've been saying

I don't want you, go away

I could forget that I've seen you

If it wasn't for my

Obstinate brain

And now everything I think is a little bit damp

Everything I say has got a little less command

Everything I do is only an imitation

Of what I wish I'd done

And now everything I see is a little bit dull

Every breath I take is just a little void and null

And when you're here I kick into gear

As if I feel nothing at all

Because

I don't want you

I don't need you

That is all that I've been saying

I don't want you

Go away

I could forget that I've seen you

If it wasn't for my

Obstinate brain
