Cover art for Contrecoup lyrics by They Might Be Giants

These lyrics are incomplete. I started with these but the second part is missing. Here's the whole thing.

You know what's wrong with me You know phrenology You saw my injury You can tell just by looking at my skull

Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first 'Cause it made me limerent

When my head was hit I bounced away from it Or as someone who is craniosophic would say The brain went the opposite way

Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first 'Cause the first one woke my feelings for you But the contrecoup made my words untrue And it left me limerent which is to say

How it goes Couched in terms No one knows And as if the choice were slim As if there's no sentiment

You know what's wrong with me You know phrenology You saw my injury You can tell just by looking at my skull

Contrecoup, on the rebound Contrecoup hurt me again And the second was worse by far than the first Though the impulse is strong the connection is weak But I know what to say But forgot how to speak When it made me limerant.
