Daniel Johnston — Brainwash

Me and a friend went out one night Walking in the street We talked of God and the end of the world I stuck my head in a fire hydrant The night was cool it was around the time That the fat ladies come out While river rats broke windows And performed unnatural acts We walked halfway across the town And sang in an amphitheatre And then we walked a little further And admired some graffiti Dodging cars as we crossed the highway We sure must have looked ugly My shirt was soaked, the grass was wet I stuck my head in a fire hydrant We talked of things and the good book While there was a naked lady on TV She had no care - she had no shame She had little propellers on My friend he said, "I can't help but look At this naked lady's body" I said, "Dear friend you got a dirty mind; Stick your head in a fire hydrant" Earlier that evening I went to a banquet Hoping she might be there But she wasn't so I went to this other girl's house Who was freaked out on drugs So later after that, after the first part of this song On my way home I drove past this other girl's house Who will not accept my calls I noticed she had her lights on As I drove slowly by I wonder if she noticed me I stuck my head in a fire hydrant
