The Life Machine — текст песни (Gary Numan)

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
