Lyrics:
Waking up, one down, to a daybreak With a destination of dynamite The mountains can be murderers When you wanna shine like anthracite Nature and humankind holding knives, Nurturing each other as accomplices The explosions in the closing distance Are dreams that can't be accomplishments Lift me up, lift me up Lift me up; lift me, lift me Please release me from this bed By god or by goddess, By medicine or machine I want to do what I see my heroes doing Here on the computer and TV screens I need a recovery to rescue my life Before everything stops flickering I promise not to kill time like The idle rich or the wild teenager If opportunity windows open, I will never let them shatter It won't be like those two years Of landmines laid beneath sunshine Not one declaration to departure To start itself decades ahead of time Lift me up, lift me up Lift me up; lift me, lift me Please release me from this bed By god or by goddess, By medicine or machine I want to do what I see my neighbors doing My eyes shuttering behind window screens I need regeneration to restore this body That's hastening its mortality There's a sleep that leads to death And another one that leads to life Doctors and nurses bedeviled by The births so cursed despite prayers And experiments glimmering in bright Hospital lights There's a sleep that leads to death And another one that leads to life A frame and a brain which thrash While peace ignores the partition Between first breath and the first Quiet night There's a sleep that leads to death And another one that leads to life And there's a never-ending nightmare Searching for scenes where the police Are reading handcuffed deities Their rights Lift me up, lift me up Please release me from this bed By god or by goddess, By medicine or machine Before my back finishes bending, Before my lungs finish collapsing, Before my heart finishes breaking
