FRONTAL LOBOTOMY BLUES
(Steven Fromholz)

Steven Fromholz - 2001


Well, there must be a potion, a lotion
A poultice that I could apply
A spell I could cast or a hex that would last
Or a pill I could buy
I've been to brujos in shacks, I've seen charlatan quacks
And I called on a wizard I knew
But the sorcerer said I'd be better off dead
Said, "There's nothin' we wizards can do." So....

I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Any old doctor will do
I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Maybe then, Baby, I'll quit thinkin' 'bout you
I'm gonna get me a bottle in front of me
Any old whiskey will do
I'm gonna get me a bottle in front of me
Drink 'til the drinkin' and the thinkin' are through

'Cause thinkin' 'bout you is all that I do
I'm goin' crazy, Baby, thinkin' 'bout you

I talked to my preacher, my second grade teacher
And a prominent priest
Well, I consulted the eight-ball, a friend who's a shrink
And my aunt who's deceased
And I've been to Bombay, to the ashram to pray
And to sit with the holy Hindu
But the Baba just smiled, said, "God loves you my child
But there's nothin' we gurus can do." So....

I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Probably gonna take two
I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Maybe then, Baby, I'll quit thinkin' 'bout you
I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Bibbity, bobbity, boo
I'm gonna get me a frontal lobotomy
Maybe then, Baby, I'll quit thinkin' 'bout you

'Cause thinkin' 'bout you is all that I do
I'm goin' crazy, Baby, thinkin' 'bout you
