Lyrics
[Intro riff - glam rock/arena rock style]
Blistering guitar riffs and thundering drums
[Verse 1]
I used to be the sharpest tool in the shed
Quick with the witty banter, a brilliant head
But something's changed, my cranium's in a daze
Feels like my grey matter's seen better days
[Pre-Chorus]
Where did my mighty brain go? (Where'd it go?)
Did it up and take the road? (Hit the road)
Better find it soon or I'm a dead man walking
[Chorus]
Halfway to dementia, losing my sanity
My marbles are rolling, my circuits not controlling
Halfway to dementia, the bright flame's dimming
Someone grab the duct tape, this brain is slipping
[Instrumental - dueling guitar solo/drum showcase]
[Verse 2]
Tried all the usual tricks to regain my smarts
Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, learning new arts
But neurons keep misfiring, the gears seize and lock
Is this what it's like to turn into a rock?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh mighty intellect (Where'd you fly?)
Don't leave me high and dry (Come back, don't die!)
I need you here by my side or I'll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Halfway to dementia, losing my sanity
Brain crumbs all scattered, the fuses shattered
Halfway to dementia, the lights growing dimmer
Quick someone jolt me back or I'm a goner
[Bridge]
(Vocal scatting like
[Instrumental - dueling guitar solo/drum showcase]

Tried all the usual tricks to regain my smarts
Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, learning new arts

Is this what it's like to turn into a rock?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh mighty intellect (Where'd you fly?)
Don't leave me high and dry (Come back, don't die!)
I need you here by my side or I'll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Halfway to dementia, losing my sanity
Brain crumbs all scattered, the fuses shattered
Halfway to dementia, the lights growing dimmer
Quick someone jolt me back or I'm a goner
[Bridge]
(Vocal scatting like slipping into dementia)
Can't...form...full...sentences...
Words...jumbled...gibberish...
Logic...fading...drifting...away...
[Guitar solo - tapping, wild shredding]
[Outro]
Hello? Is this thing on? (Echoing vocals)
Anybody home in here? HELLO?
Nope, just an empty chamber, nobody's manning this station
Halfway...to...dementia...
