Lyrics
When the doctor gave me my body
She said "Son, you'll get 75 years if you're lucky.
But by the way, we could use your help –
There's plenty of money to be made, you just gotta sell yourself."
Yeah, I know you want to go
But if you stick around, you might see a show
Breaker one-nine, we've got trouble on the line
These brakes are busted; I think the engineer is blind
I said "C'mon Doc, are you having a go?
I'd rather strum this guitar and turn the lights down low.
Tell some jokes, chase some hazy dreams -
I'm not interested in your Ponzi schemes.
What do you have against people living free now, anyway?
You know you could turn it all around, any day."
Yeah, I know you want to go
But if you stick around, you might see a show
Breaker one-nine, we've got trouble on the line
These brakes are busted; I think the engineer is blind
Well, you pick me up, and you put me down
I think I lost my heart when you left this town
I walk these streets at night until the sun comes up
I wish I called your name, wish I called your bluff
Yeah, I know you want to go
Maybe next weekend we'll go see a show
Operator nine, I've got static on this line
Just disconnect me, just disconnect me
Just disconnect me; I'll try this call some other time.
