Gary Numan - The Life Machine lyrics
[Gary Numan - The Life Machine lyrics]
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
