Lyrics

Scatterbrains are just the same as regular people
Except for some impairments they display
Like nel- no, like seldom remembering your name
Even if they are in your family
When the phone rings at home
Sometimes they open the refrigerator door and say hello
They load washing machines with clean clothes
Which they just unloaded from the dryer
It may seem sad
You may think that they have gone mad
But it's just the peculiar ways
Of the scatterbrain
They put stuff like coffee cups and purses and grocery bags
On the top of the car and drive away
And they notice it some moments later
When they brake or take a corner
And they spend time trying to find the glasses they're wearing
Or the keys that they are holding in their hands
And when they find them they call themselves bad names
Like stupid moron, idiot or loser
It may seem sad
Like a tragic and cruel handicap
But it's just the peculiar ways
Of the scatterbrain
There's one now in the kitchen, he's sweeping the floor
But he needs a new broom so he runs to the store
But in the car on the way he hears a new song he likes
So he stops to buy the record and he runs into Mike
And they talk over coffee and then Mike has to go
And our man can't remember just why he left home
So if you see one of these directionless people
Maybe you can offer them a hand
Instead of just pointing and laughing
But if you do, well, who could blame you?
It may seem sad
But actually it's not that bad
It's just the peculiar ways
The truly inscrutable daze
The thick intellectual haze
The life like a mouse in a maze
The look in the eyes kind of glazed
Of the scatterbrain
