Contrecoup Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

You know what's wrong with me 

You know phrenology 

You saw my injury 

You can tell just by looking at my skull 

Countrecoup, on the rebound 

Countrecoup hurt me again 

And the second was worse by far than the first 

'Cause it made my limerent 

When my head was hit 

I bounced away from it 

Or as someone who is craniosophic would say 

The brain went the opposite way

Countrecoup, on the rebound 

Countrecoup hurt me again 

And the second was worse by far than the first 

'Cause the first one woke my feelings for you 

But the countrecoup made my words untrue 

And it left me limerent 

Which is to say how it goes 

Couched in terms no one knows 

And as if the choice were slim 

As if there's no synonym 

You know what's wrong with me 

You know phrenology 

You saw my injury 

You can tell just by looking at my skull

Countrecoup, on the rebound 

Countrecoup hurt me again 

And the second was worse by far than the first 

Though the impulse is strong the connection is weak 

And I know what to say but forgot how to speak 

When it made me limerent
