lyrics

i don't want to wake up with my body on my arm and my arm barely hanging on -- and the blood very nearly gone -- each night i go to bed praying that i don't wake up with a limb on the floor -- and a bone sticking from its core -- i have the dream of an amputee -- the amputee is me -- we all go to sleep thinking that the world will be the same when we the morning bell slaps our face -- but instead we've lost another trace -- we don't want to wake up with our bodies on our arms and our arms barely hanging on -- and the blood very nearly gone -- we have the dreams of the amputees -- we are the amputees -- oh no -- we are the amputees -- you've got to hold on to what you keep -- cross yourself twice before you drift to sleep
