Lyrics
0:22Sometimes I feel really glad
0:26Looking back at the fun we've had
0:30But sometimes I want so much more
0:34Than this tug of war I'm longing for
0:38Swinging scenes in magazines
0:41They're just distant dreams now
0:45Some say it feels really bad
0:49When those vicious tongues begin to wag
0:53But somehow all those paper lies
0:57Just anaesthetise the passers by
1:01The faceless clowns that put me down
1:05Don't bring me down
1:07I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over
1:12Somehow I get to play the fame game
1:18Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for
1:25A call to action a strange attraction
1:32Somehow I'm not ready for
1:35Feeling bored and wanting more
1:39The radio plays like a uniform
1:43And dips you brains in chloroform
1:47They're so concerned the spoken word
1:51Seems so absurd
1:53I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over
1:59Somehow I get to play the fame game
2:04Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for
2:11A call to action a strange attraction
2:16It's never the way it goes
2:19Just in time too late to know
2:53I've realized I'm lost inside I'm mesmerized
2:59I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over
3:05Somehow I get to play the fame game
3:10Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for
Sometimes I feel really glad Looking back at the fun we've had But sometimes I want so much more Than this tug of war I'm longing for Swinging scenes in magazines They're just distant dreams now Some say it feels really bad When those vicious tongues begin to wag But somehow all those paper lies Just anaesthetise the passers by The faceless clowns that put me down Don't bring me down I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over Somehow I get to play the fame game Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for A call to action a strange attraction Somehow I'm not ready for Feeling bored and wanting more The radio plays like a uniform And dips you brains in chloroform They're so concerned the spoken word Seems so absurd I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over Somehow I get to play the fame game Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for A call to action a strange attraction It's never the way it goes Just in time too late to know I've realized I'm lost inside I'm mesmerized I'm lost inside this brain drain taking me over Somehow I get to play the fame game Lost inside this brain drain I used to long for
