lyrics

Like you were watching TV
You watched yourself crumble away
Sat in your sterilized room
Three tubes plugged in your chest

I did not know what to say
What should the last words
From me to you be?
What should the last words be?

I laughed, joked, tried not to face facts
Until you turned to me and said,
“I’m scared.”

Afraid it was just not your time to go
It was just not your time
Just not your time
You have much more living to do
Five years past you’d have been dead
In your hospital bed
And today it was okay
To feel like a guinea pig
Mutated-

You’re out of jail
And on probation
You’re alive
And you burst with the energy of Roger Whittaker
On psychedelics
Even though your catheter is still hanging
Out of your body
And your hair will never grow back.
