"My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare; / I had to cram so many things to store everything in there."
Metaphor in Context
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies.
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s.
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare;
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there.
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people,
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people,
I never thought I'd need so many people.

And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people,
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people,
