Brain on a Pillow
Channel: Mikhailt. Kalashnikov's AK-47
Date: 2021-10-28

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of our 1981 Halloween show at The Island, we dug up some old photos from the performance and made a new music video for Brain on a Pillow.

Brain on a Pillow was one of six new songs AK-47 played that night. A few weeks later, we recorded these songs with Andy Bradley at ACA Recording Studios. We finally released them as “Singularities” on Bandcamp in August, 2021. Enjoy!

Brain on a Pillow
After the collision came a state of shock
Pain like an animal; hunter in the dark
Hiding in a coma ‘til the coast was clear
I opened my eyes… I haven't moved from here

Brain on a Pillow
My body’s paralyzed
I think therefore I am
But I can only blink my eyes

I see and I listen. I keep perfectly still
I’m the most patient patient in the hospital
The skill of seven surgeons saved my life
I owe all of this to a Hippocratic knife

Repeat Chorus

Everyone’s concerned about damage to my brain
Has my intelligence gone down the drain?
One blink means yes, two blinks mean no
People get impatient ‘cause I talk too slow
