[Spoken Intro]

Fuck


[Verse 1]

Take me to a hospital and lay me in a bed

Put a flashlight inside my eye and look around my head

The doctors gather 'round and marvel at why I'm not dead

You can tell the miles replaced my heart with a chemical instead


[Chorus]

I am an operation table with no rate of success

I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget

I am skin and bone, I am paperweight

A hundred nights I've laid awake

I'm on the operation table and I'm ready to be saved


[Verse 2]

Put me in an ambulance and drop me up the road

I cover up the bruises that I got from throwing stones

I'm sweating out my eyes, but I have never been so cold

They drag me through a crowd of faces, but I still feel alone


[Chorus]

I am an operation table with no rate of success

I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget

I am skin and bone, I am paperweight

A hundred nights I've laid awake

I'm on the operation table and I'm ready to be saved


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

I am an operation table with no rate of success

I am an amputation table, I lay down and I forget

I am skin and bone, I am paperweight

A hundred nights I've laid awake

I'm on the operation table and I'm ready to be saved
