The Machine Will Tell Us So

The lieutenant patted me on the chest*
You look so nervous, don’t be afraid
Whatever lies out there can’t be as strange
As the place from which you came
So when you’re ready, the machine will call your name
Where you are now will be a shadow of the world you will have known
Don’t be scared, put your fears aside and strap on the electrodes
If this lies beyond, the machine will tell us so
Dreaming of you on a birthday wish (?)
So when you’re ready, the machine will call your name
Where you are now will be a shadow of the world you will have known
Don’t be scared, put your fears aside and strap on your electrodes
If this lies beyond, the machine will tell us so
