Lyrics

Your doctor forbids you my voice in your head
But I’ll get back what you, you think I’ve left
Those nine dead fingers you’ve got stuck in your chest
Honey, I’ll hang up when you wring my neck

I’m not blaming you man but you, you know what I said
About blood red signals that mean go ahead
And how those slits will suck your, your phantom head apart
And you know I could have beaten these words out of any heart

I am I, I am
I am I, I am

You’re hoping all these words I painted on your chest
Will jump out of your arms and back down my neck
To rip out the spine that I, I don’t have
Pull the pin from your body and bring it back

I’m not blaming you man but you, you know what I said
About blood red signals that mean go ahead
And how those slits will suck your, your phantom head apart
And you know I could have beaten these words out of any heart

I am I, I am
I am I, I am

Echo and the other two, wash yourselves in pain
Thrashing slaves in the soft machine, three flowers in a ring

I am I, I am
I am I, I am

I’m not blaming you man but you, you know what I said
About blood red signals that mean go ahead
And how those slits will suck your, your phantom head apart
And you know I could have beaten these words out of any heart

I am I, I am
I am I, I am
