Brain Surgery

I'd like to wear a hospital gown and strap you down
inside my dungeon deep in the city underground
I'd like to bore a hole in your head with a laser beam
then with a scalpel take out the bits that bother me
surgery brain surgery x2
I'd like to roll you out on a gurney under lights
shave off your hair and give you a shot of something nice
a mixture of morphine grain alcohol and ketamine
then I'll take out the tools of the trade and make you mine
surgery brain surgery x2
Let's go!
Sometimes the things you do are so stupid I get mad
brings out the worst in me and then baby I go bad
there's something missing deep in your
skull that must be found
I need to perform an exploratory and poke around
surgery brain surgery x2
surgery brain surgery x2
In the city...
