Songtext Brain drain Marianne Faithfull

Brain drain

Well, I know that you're tired of living this way,
We've been trying to get high without having to pay.

The walls are all empty, it's not a permanent state,
Just let me tell you that it's not too late.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
You're a drain brain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

Well, you know I ain't selfish, there's always a way.
If a thing ain't worth having, you're having to pay.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
You're a train brain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

Got so much to offer, but I can't pay the rent,
I can't buy you roses 'cause the money's all spent.

Well, you sat in my car, you drank my champagne,
You stole all my silk but you gave me no change.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
You're a train drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

Got so much to offer, but I can't pay the rent,
I can't buy you roses 'cause the money's all spent.

Well, you sat in my car, you drank my champagne,
You stole all my silk, you left me no change.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
You're a train drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.

You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
You're a brain drain, you go on and on like a blood stain.
