When You're Ready
You say you get so haunted by these memoriesWell of course there must be plentyThat you'd just as soon forgetHere's a chance to wash away your historyWe haven't tried this on civilians yetBut you'll have to take that riskTo get this chance at richesAnd how much could it be worthTo keep those same bad dreamsJust climb up on the tableLet me throw the switchesIt's really a remarkable machineAnd the switch is by your headAnd when it's doneYou won't know how you got hereBut you could write yourself a letterYes you'll still know how to readJust draw yourself a map to where you're livingAnd put a label on each one of your keysWhen your friends will try to tease youYou just won't rememberSongtexteWhat a fool you were in high school over some old flameJust climb up on the table, I can quench the emberThe past will never bother you againAnd the switch is by your head when you're readyTruth be told, this big machine does nothingBut there's a change that bringsA difference into all these people's livesTo free them from the pastThat was their prisonWhat gives them passageIs just the fact that they decideYou see this big machine is harmlessIt just scares them shitlessIt's louder than a spaceshipAnd the lights are strangeThey climb up on the table and I throw the switchesAnd it helps them to believe that they can changeAhh but the switch is by your head when you're readyWhen you're ready, when you're ready Aus Songtexte Mania
