Jonathan Groff
Brain Dead
[GORDON]
Brain dead
That's what I am, lying here
I'm brain dead
What a mess I've got us into
Brain dead
Everybody's setting off alarms

Baby, maybe lift my head up

I see
I just pulled a doozie
Don't ask why me
Roger, pass the Uzi
As the MD
Lifts me in his cruisy chiseled arms

Brain dead
Stupid and thoughtless
Is what I am
'Cause I'm brain dead
And goddamned!

Brain dead
Dressed up and we're chatting
And I'm brain dead
You deserve an explanation
Brain dead
Sitting in this restaurant tonight
Waiter, later, please, we're talking

[ROGER]
I said
You have limitations, darling

[GORDON]
Instead
Scream your accusations
Don't be well-bred
Life ain't always happiness and light

I thought
If I could finish
A song or five
I'd be brain dead
But alive

[Instrumental]

[GORDON]
Last scene:
Everybody's dancing
I take codeine
Oh, lovers start romancing
There's a bright green
Thing between your teeth, dear
Please don't smile
Waiter, later, please, we're fighting!

Crash, bang!
At this speed it's stimulating
Crash, bang!
I'm out here hallucinating
Crash, bang!
Actually I'm going out in style
That said, please someone kill me
If I survive
'Cause I'm brain dead
Brain dead

[ENSEMBLE]
Brain dead
Brain dead
Brain dead
But

[GORDON]
Alive!
