Adam Newling – Operation Table Lyrics

 

Operation Table Lyrics by Adam Newling

 

Fuck

Take me to a hospital and lay me in a bed
Put a flashlight inside my eye and look around my head
The doctors gather ’round and marvel at why I’m not dead
You can tell the miles replaced my heart with a chemical instead

I am an operation table with no rate of success
I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget
I am skin and bone, I am paperweight
A hundred nights I’ve laid awake
I’m on the operation table and I’m ready to be saved

Put me in an ambulance and drop me up the road
I cover up the bruises that I got from throwing stones
I’m sweating out my eyes, but I have never been so cold
They drag me through a crowd of faces, but I still feel alone

I am an operation table with no rate of success
I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget
I am skin and bone, I am paperweight
A hundred nights I’ve laid awake
I’m on the operation table and I’m ready to be saved

I am an operation table with no rate of success
I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget
I am skin and bone, I am paperweight
A hundred nights I’ve laid awake
I’m on the operation table and I’m ready to be saved
