and Norm Vilmer on keys, bass & percussion. Recorded in 1986 inspired by the brain police prank phone call recorded around the same time on a JVC cassette deck, overdub achieved by desoldering the erase head.

Brain Police

Here's my stab at some lyrics.

Intro: until bar 12 
Verse 1 starts with do’s

It's starts again
 another day, no change.

Been here before
 don’t like the question
 not going to answer.

Instrumental Bridge: 8 bars from 21-28 
next verse starts with piano 

What's the problem
so what, its what you want
you think its better now
but it goes on
 you watch it happen 
and don't even look away

Then I think
 you just don’t get it
how many more times will it take.

Chorus: starts at bar 40  

It goes on
 it goes on and on 
it's in me, it's in you

when it comes around
 don’t let it come around
around and around again

-- at bar 48

Bad karma... bad, bad karma
 again and again and again
 bad karma... bad bad karma 
it's in you, it's in me

-- at bar 56

What goes around 
comes around
our fate, our pedigree  
before and again
 
-- at bar 60

It comes around 
don’t want it to come around
going to get back to you

-- ending 

Bad karma... bad, bad karma
what goes around, comes around
(repeat for the rest of the song)

Bad Karma

Written, performed and recorded by Norm "Denormalizer" Vilmer © 2012.

@1:54 - Musically stopped at a traffic light with signal on, then accelerate and drive

Walk away, walk away
to the street.

Find the keys, unlock the door
empty car, empty seat.

Sat alone, sat awhile 
before I drive, before the drive.

Engine idles,
depress the brake,
signal clicks.

...and then I drive.

The fog and beach remind me
empty feeling, empty seat.

Gonna say, I'm sorry
gonna head back soon
gonna buy the stone
gonna rent the room
gonna play with fate
gonna be there soon.

after I drive, after the drive.

Drive

Written, performed and recorded by Norm "Denormalizer" Vilmer. Guitar is Schecter C-1+ w/mod - Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker in neck; JB in bridges (tone piece to test new pickups).

Don't matter what you do
or how you do it.
Don't matter who you're with
or where you are.
It won't get better than this.
It just won't get better than this.

Won't Get Better Than This
