MIDDLE 8 - Same as Verse but at half speed.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away

Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile back home again

Images of palm trees sway in the wind on south beach

Thinking back to better days, summer rays, the Everglades in June

Bridge

My brain, my poor brain

My brain, my poor brain

CHORUS

Drinking myself to sleep again

Now these pills to keep me sane

Drinking myself to sleep again

Insomnia

Verse 2

Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind

Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book

Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Coopers break

Takes me back to eighty-four, the future's knocking at my door

My brain, my poor brain

My brain, my poor brain

CHORUS X2

Middle 8

Turning off the switch inside me

Leaving all the stress behind me

Flying over streets and houses

Passing over, no-one dying

Takes me back to eighty-four

The future's knocking at my door

My brain, my poor brain

My brain, my poor brain

CHORUS X3
