3.1905
(by John Entwistle)
Mother was an incubator, father was the contents
Of a test tube in the icebox in the factory of birth.
My name is Lionel-5, and I've just become alive
I'm the newest populator of the planet called Earth.
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 this puberty behind.
Everything
I know is what I need to know,
Everything I do's been done before
Every sentence in my head -- someone else has said...
And each end of my life is an open door.
Automatically
defrosted, my manhood came on time
I became a man, I left the high school behind.
Now I'm to begin the life that I'm assigned
A life that's been used before, a thousand times.
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.
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...
And each end of my life is an open door...
