The Stranglers - Brainbox lyrics

I want to know the secret Of life and the universe So I asked of Caesar's daughter But she didn't say a word Now the word was there beforehand Before all the evil speak It's both what you say and how you say And sometimes it sounds so cheap But I don't care what you say It's in the brainbox It's in your brainbox It's in your dreadlocks It's in my red socks I asked the Delphic Virgins What's in the stars today And I grabbed a slightly lapsed one And took her home to play Now that was no solution To my enquiring mind Her thighs had not the answer I was trying to find Repeat chorus He seemed like an old timer With the knowing hands of a god He found water in my desert Without the aid of a rod Repeat chorus It's in the brainbox It's in the full stop It's in the dreadlocks It's in the dead, dead, dead fox It in the brainbox Brainbox Brainbox Brainbox
