The Life Machine |
| Me I’ve just died |
| But some machine keeps on humming |
| I’m just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running |
| Why won’t you let me die in peace? |
| Why won’t you let me die with some kind of honour? |
| Why won’t you let me die at all? |
| I know |
| You’ve got your principles |
| My body lies immobile |
| I left it days ago |
| And me I watch from somewhere as the loved ones come and go I see them glancing at the switch |
| I hear them whispering «maybe it’s better that way» |
| I see the love turn into feelings |
| I know |
| Aren’t quite the same |
| I see the men of learning |
| Pacing to and fro |
| But how can I expect the sane to ever know? |
| I’d rather die than have no mind |
| I know my brain is gone «damaged beyond repair» |
| I see an empty shell below me I know |
| I’ve had my time |
