The Life Machine Lyrics - Tubeway Army - 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

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

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
