Kept Alive By Science Lyrics

Fortunately, he was kept alive by science, and the drugs of men

When autumn comes my days will count sadly short again

I saw the tubes dangle by the bedpost, leaking

And a chaplain at the foot board speaking

We dedicate this, Your servant

We dedicate this, Your servant

We dedicate this, your servant, back to the Earth

So get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today

But you could never have stayed

This world is a typical disaster of what comes after

Unfortunately, unfortunately

You better get a load of this world, you'll be getting out today

Fortunately, luck is in the hands of the young

And the wind from the iron lung

The iron lung, unplugged, can only take it as it comes

I see holes have made the raincoat leaky

And I heard them make the box springs squeaky

We dedicate this, Your servant back to the Earth

He said, The top drawer contains the proof of my remains

And estate in letters and receipts

If you'd ignore my pleas, when I turn off the machine

How unfortunately, unfortunately

Ignore my plea's when I turn off the machine
