On the Operating Table Lyrics

I'm sorry to report

All the oxygen diverted

To his brain

Had some things on his mind

Could not explain

The answer in time

Muscles locked up

Suffocated alive

Alive, a lie

He's gone away

So far away

His bones are here

But he's nowhere near

The operating table

The operating table

Come on now and take a

Seat, don't take this heavy

We need your help to

Identify his body

What was his name

In the past who was he

What will he be

In the next life

Alive, a lie

He's gone away

So far away

His bones are here

But he's nowhere near

The operating table

The operating table

He's been led astray

So far away

From the operating table

The operating table

His bones are here

Tendons, ligaments

He's been having trouble

Feeling this

Like an out of body experience

Far away, so far away

His bones are here

But he's nowhere near

The operating table

The operating table

Is it right to set sail

Without an explanation

When I'm talking

It's your turn

To listen

To what I'm saying

It's your turn

To listen

And I'm sailing

On your shimmering

Shimmering shores

Hope that you won't ignore

When I'm talking

You'll listen

To what I'm saying

It's your turn

To listen

When I'm talking

It's your turn

To listen

And I'm sailing

On your shimmering

Shimmering shores

Hope that you won't ignore

When I'm talking

I'm sailing on your shimmering

Operating table
