Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Brainwash

Me and a friend went out one night

Walkin' in the street

We talked of God and the end of the world

I stuck my head in a fire hydrant

The night was cool. It was around the time that the bad ladies come out

While river rats broke windows and performed un-natural acts

We walked halfway across the town and sang in an amphitheater

Then we walked a little further and admired some graffiti

Dodging cars as we crossed the highway

We sure must have looked ugly

My shirt was soaked, the grass was wet

I stuck head in a fire hydrant

We talked of things in the Good Book

While there was a naked lady on TV

She had no care, she had no shame

She had little propellers on

My friend he said "I can't help

But look at this naked lady's body"

I said "dear friend you got a dirty mind

Stick yr head in a fire hydrant"

Earlier that evening

I went to a banquet

Hoping she might be there

But she wasn't so I went to this other girl's house

Who was freaked out on drugs

So later after that

After the first part of this song

On my way home I drove past this other girl's house

Who would not accept my calls

I noticed she had her light on

As I drove slowly by

I wondered if she noticed me

I stuck my head in a fire hydrant
