Текст песни: Soviet Brain II + перевод

Some never get a chance to see a real human brain

At least, not while its language cortex is holding a conversation with you

And somehow remembering words, piecing them together into a sentence

Picking and choosing which sentence to speak aloud, and which to leave in the

subconscious to gestate a little longer

To see the part of the brain that is causing the patient’s epileptic seizures,

the surgeon must remove a hand-sized piece of bone, opening up a window into

the brain just above the line between left eye and left ear

The bone must be taken out in one large chunk, because it will be reinstalled

in the patient’s skull late this afternoon to close that window

Opening is a matter of drills and saws, and is consequently a little noisy

The patient gets to sleep through that

But it’s over now, and the intravenous short-acting anesthetic has been stopped

Allowing the patient to wake back up

He needs to be alert during the next act

And there is very little to cause pain at this stage in the operation

Touching the brain’s surface doesn’t produce any sensations of touch

The brain itself has no sensors for that sort of thing

Although it receives messages from sensors elsewhere in the body

We ought to be ready for the handheld stimulator in a few minutes
