Scatterbraine Songtext / Lyric

Scatterbraine, they smoked you out of the foxhole

Scatterbraine, you act like a priest in a brothel

Naive charm, the idiot boy from the farm

Father tried to save you with prayers and psalms



Grace and Lydia and Dorothy

The village idiot sent them to sleep

Policeman O'Riley cannot believe

That someone so dumb could be still

On the run from the law






Scatterbraine, the strength of an ox on cocaine

Scatterbraine, are mother and father to blame?

He's not insane, just a boy who goes searching for treasure

Sunshine, rain, he'll find it whatever the weather



Grace and Lydia and Dorothy

The village idiot sent them to sleep

Policeman O'Riley cannot believe

That someone so dumb could be still

On the run from the law



This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer

Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere

This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer

Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere



And his name is Scatterbraine

And his name is Scatterbraine
