They Might Be Giants — Contrecoup lyrics

Lyrics

You know what’s wrong with me You know phrenology
You saw my injury
You can tell just by looking at my skull
Contrecoup, on the rebound
Contrecoup hurt me again
And the second was worse by far than the first
'Cause it made me limerent
When my head was hit
I bounced away from it Or as someone who is craniosophic would say
The brain went the opposite way
Contrecoup, on the rebound
Contrecoup hurt me again
And the second was worse by far than the first
'Cause the first just left me feeling inert
But the contrecoup woke my feelings for you
And it left me limerent
