Text: 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 train drain
You go on and on like a blood stain
