lyrics

Brain in a Jar

Johnny’s wife was dead and couldn’t be revived
But he was determined to keep her alive
Acting out of desperation
Johnny performed an operation
He cut her head with a kitchen knife
And removed her brain to save her life
He wasn’t too sure that it would work
But then her body began to jerk

He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar under the bed
He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar under the bed

She rose from the bed where she lay
Desperately searching for her brain
She scanned the room, where did it go
Johnny hid her brain, but she didn’t know

Johnny, Johnny, please help me
I need to find my brain
Johnny, Johnny, please help me
Without it I just don’t feel the same

Johnny didn’t respond to her call
Under the bed he hid curled up in a ball
Afraid of what his wife might say
If she knew, he hid her brain

He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar under the bed
He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar under the bed
He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar under the bed
He found her dead so he cut her head
Hid her brain in a jar
Brain in a jar
Brain in a jar
Under the bed

Gotham City Mashers are a "real live bunch" from Astoria, Queens that formed in 2009 by four longtime friends who wanted to make music like the bands they grew up idolizing. If Keith Morris, Joe Perry, Cliff Burton, and Chuck Biscuits created a super group, they would probably sound a lot like Gotham City Mashers. ... more
