905 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother was an incubator
Father was the contents
Of a test tube in the ice box
In the factory of birth
My name is 905
And I've just become alive
I'm the newest populator
Of the planet we call Earth

[Verse 2]
In suspended animation
My childhood passed me by
If I speak without emotion
Then you know the reason why
Knowledge of the universe
Was fed into my mind
As my adolescent body
Left its puberty behind

[Chorus]
And everything I know is what I need to know
And everything I do's been done before
Every sentence in my head
Someone else has said
At each end of my life is an open door

[Verse 3]
Automatically defrosted
When manhood came on time
I became a man
I left the "ice school" behind
Now I'm to begin
The life that I'm assigned
A life that's been used before
A thousand times

[Bridge]
I have a feeling deep inside
That something is missing
It's a feeling in my soul
And I can't help wishing
That one day I'll discover
That we're living a lie
And I'll tell the whole world
The reasons why

[Chorus]
But until then, all I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Every idea in my head
Someone else has said
At each end of my life is an open door
