|
The I.V. drips, the days drag on, |
|
The anesthetics now wearing off |
|
Adjust the light switch in the hall. |
|
This is the end. |
|
These are the last days. |
|
These are the last days. |
|
Now take our hands in a roll of red tape, |
|
Genetic information strands are tighter than trip wires. |
|
And we awake in the light of other lives, |
|
This can't be happening, these sirens are for me, yeah. |
|
So what happened to the hospital, |
|
To cut the cost of collected health? |
|
Dying in the shadow of the hospital |
|
We got the city in our blood and it's making us sick. |
|
But you stay alive until their blood fills up your wallet, |
|
Blazing up the sky. |
|
These are the last days |
|
These are the last days. |
|
Where we all wake. |
|
Where we all wake. |
|
The I.V. drips, the days drag on, |
|
The anesthetics now wearing off. |
|
Adjust the light switch in the hall, |
|
Someone has left it on. |
|
And maybe the x-ray screen keeps it from getting dark. |
|
The bulb burns out when it gets too hot. |
|
Are we just a blink in the eyes of a pulse machine? |
|
It's lightning divorcing the storm |
|
Try to shut it off, codeine catch, the windows latched and |
|
The clock keeps circling the room tick, tock. |
|
We lost control . |
|
(White out white out) |
|
In white outs followed magnetic fields to the fire. |
|
(White out white out) |
|
Out of control. |
|
We fight currents in the water, we can't let go to shore. |
|
We lost control. |
