Water on the Brain [*] Lyrics

I`ve just come in from out of the rain
It`s wet outside the water runs down a drain
I go to bed `cause my head`s full of pain

And drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild

Outside the window there`s a pipe wearing thin
It lets the water do a dance on a tin
I try to sleep but it`s making a din

And drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild

Water on the brain water on the brain
Water on the brain water on the brain

Drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild

I toss and turn and my patience is weak
Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah
The bath tap has started a leak

And drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild
Drip drip it`s driving me wild

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
