Me I've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece
Of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace
Why won't you let me die with
Some kind of honour
Why won't you let me die at all
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me I watch from somewhere
As the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering 'maybe it's better that way'
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
[A third verse was later added for the version on the Tubeway Army album.]

Why won't you let me die with

Why won't you let me die at all

And me I watch from somewhere
As the loved ones come and go

I hear them whispering 'maybe it's better that way'
I see the love turn into feelings
