905 Lyrics

 (Entwistle)
 
 Mother was an incubator
 Father was the contents
 of a test tube in the ice box
 In the factory of birth
 
 My name is 905,
 And I've just become alive
 I'm the newest populator
 Of the planet we call Earth
 
 In suspended animation
 My childhood passed me by
 If I speak without emotion
 Then you know the reason why
 
 Knowledge of the universe
 Was fed into my mind
 As my adolescent body
 Left its puberty behind
 
 And everything I know is what I need to know
 And everything I do's been done before
 Every sentence in my head
 Someone else has said
 At each end of my life is an open door
 
 Automatically defrosted
 When manhood came on time
 I became a man
 I left the "ice school" behind
 
 Now I'm to begin
 The life that I'm assigned
 A life that's been used before
 A thousand times
 
 I have a feeling deep inside
 That somethin' is missing
 It's a feeling in my soul
 And I can't help wishing
 
 That one day I'll discover
 That we're living a lie
 And I'll tell the whole world
 The reason why
 
 Well, until then, everything I know is what I need to know
 And everything I do's been done before
 Every sentence in my head
 Someone else has said
 At each end of my life is an open door
