This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer
Father tried to save you with prayers and psalms
Policeman O'Riley cannot believe
Sunshine, rain, he'll find it whatever the weather
Naive charm, the idiot boy from the farm
Scatterbraine, the strength of an ox on cocaine
On the run from the law
He's not insane, just a boy who goes searching for treasure
Policeman O'Riley cannot believe
That someone so dumb could be still
Scatterbraine, are mother and father to blame?
Grace and Lydia and Dorothy
The village idiot sent them to sleep
On the run from the law
And his name is Scatterbraine
That someone so dumb could be still
Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere
Grace and Lydia and Dorothy
This ain't no fairytale for you to cheer
The village idiot sent them to sleep
Some thing's ugly in the atmosphere
