Hemisphere

Verse 1
Here is my left brain. Here is my right……….
(Left)   This side lives logic, digital black and white
(Right) Conjuring monsters in darkness of a night
(Left)    Don’t be so crazy, there is nothing in sight
(Right)  Quixote’s  windmills are giants to fight

Verse 2
Here is my left brain. Here is my right
(Left)   This side is learning, teacher’s pet in school
(Right) Better for peers to think you are cool
(Left)    Here, career, mapped, respect for rule
(Right)  I’d rather be remembered for playing the fool

Mid Bit

Verse 3
Here is my left brain. Here is my right
(Left)    This side accounts, you can do the math
(Right) To hell with the money, choose a heavenly path  
(Left)   This side craves order leaves nothing to chance
(Right) My tragic poet loves wining, dance and romance

Verse 4
Here is my left brain. Here is my right
(Left and right) So here it functions, day after day
(Left and right) A conscious conflict of psychedelic and gray
(Left and right) So adroit, gauche what you see is a sham
(Left and right) But both of them make me what I am
Ending
Here is the left and here is the right
And in this hemisphere they will unite
