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!
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, ?sirens are for me, yeah?
Someone hurry 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 catches
The windows latched and
The clock keeps circling the room 'tick, tock'
We lost control (____________)
In what have we followed magnetic fields to the fire (___________)
Out of control
Fight currents in the water we can't let go to shore
We lost control
