905 (Glyn Johns Mix)

[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
