"When I Held Your Brain in My Arms" is a song from the episode Terror from the Year 5000.
Lyrics[]
First Observer- There was a time, so bright and gay
It seems like only yesterday
When I held your brain in my arms
Your adrenalin was like wine
Sweet perfume was your endocrine
When I held your brain in my arms
But now your brain is gone and it's left an empty hole
I gaze into your sockets but you're just a hollow skull
I used to love a lotta
Your medulla oblongota
And your basal ganglia
I remember we would stroll along your fissure of Rolando
When I held your brain in my arms
Second Observer- I miss how we would float down your vestibular canal
And how we would go swimming in your pons
The music you would play us
On your locus ceruleus
First Observer-
Still tickles my neurons
Now I'm sorry that I dropped you
That I accidentally plopped you
When I held your brain in my arms
It caused a contusion
When I held your brain in my arms
During "Suddenly Susan"
When I held your brain in my arms
