The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I′ll see you on the dark side of the Moon.
The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me ′till I′m sane.
You lock the door And throw away the key There′s someone in my head but it′s not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you′re in starts playing different tunes I′ll see you on the dark side of the Moon.
[Doctor] Scalpel [Nurse] Here [Doctor] Sponge [Nurse] Here [Doctor] Wait.. he′s convulsing, he′s convulsing! [Nurse] Ah! [Doctor] We′re gonna have to shock him! [Nurse] Oh my! Oh my God! [Doctor] We′re gonna have to shock him! [Nurse] Oh my God!
[Eminem] These are the results of a thousand electric volts A neck with bolts, "Nurse we′re losin him, check the pulse!" A kid who refused to respect adults Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me And I might snap, one day just like that I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack (Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said, "It′s you and I, three o′clock sharp this afternoon you die" I looked at my watch it was one twenty "I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?" He said, "Don′t try to run from me, you′ll just make it worse..." My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works" I screamed, "O My appendix feels like they could burst! Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse!" [N] "What′s the matter?" [E] "I don′t know, my leg, it hurts!" [N] "Leg?!? I thought you said it was your tummy?!?" [E] "Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee!" [N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over. And just for that stunt, you′re gonna get some extra homework." [E] "But don′t you wanna give me after school detention?" [N] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I′ma let him."
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Brain damage, ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was goin But everywhere I go they keep playin my song
[Eminem] Brain damage.. Way before my baby daughter Hailey I was harassed daily by this fat kid named D′Angelo Bailey An eighth grader who acted obnoxious, cause his father boxes so everyday he′d shove me in the lockers One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin And had me in the position to beat me into submission He banged my head against the urinal til he broke my nose, Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat I tried to plead and tell him, "We shouldn′t beef" But he just wouldn′t leave, he kept chokin me and I couldn′t breathe He looked at me and said, "You gonna die honkey!" The principal walked in (What′s going on in here?) and started helpin him stomp me I made them think they beat me to death Holdin my breath for like five minutes before they finally left Then I got up and ran to the janitor′s storage booth Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools "This is for every time you took my orange juice, or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk. Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt. I′m gettin you back bully! Now once and for good." I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could and beat him over the head with it til I broke the wood Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot.. .. Made it home, later that same day Started reading a comic, and suddenly everything became gray I couldn′t even see what I was tryin to read I went deaf, and my left ear started to bleed My mother started screamin, "What are you on, drugs?!? Look at you, you′re gettin blood all over my rug!" (Sorry!) She beat me over the head with the remote control opened a hole, and my whole brain fell out of my skull I picked it up and screamed, "Look bitch, what have you done?!?" [M] "Oh my God, I′m sorry son" [E] "Shut up you cunt!" I said, "Fuck it!" Took it and stuck it back up in my head then I sewed it shut and put a couple of screws in my neck
