50 Ways to Leave Your Brother
        (By Sister Flywoman)

(Paul? Don't take it personally. 
 We mock because we care...)

"The aliens are all inside your head,"
she said to me,
"the answer is easy 
if you take it logically,
I'd like to help you 
in your struggle to be free,
There must be 50 ways 
to leave your brother."

She said, "It's really not
a habit to correct,
I hope my Rational Explanation
won't betray my intellect,
But I'll repeat myself,
my faith in science to protect,
There must be 50 ways 
to leave your brother.

Chorus:
Get stabbed in the back, Jack
Get that bag tied, Clyde
You don't walk up the stair, Jer,
Just get yourself free.
Get tattooed with red, Ed
She's screamin' in your head
Get shot for your sis, Miss
And get yourself free."

  (repeat chorus)

She said, "It grieves me so
to see you in such pain.
I wish there were something I could do
to bring Sam back again."
And I said, "I appreciate that,
and would you please explain
about the 50 ways..."

She said, "Why don't you go
and sleep on it tonight,
And I believe that in the morning
you'll begin to see the light."
And then she left me, and I realized
she probably was right,
There must be 50 ways
to leave your brother
50 ways
to leave your brother.

    (Chorus)
