Down on Me - Maybebop

I look the operation staff over their shoulders

The tube slides down my throat

The clumsy doctor’s hands are shaking

The angel says that nothing can go wrong

During the coma — says the angel — I am free

To go wherever I please

Just to be safer, says the angel, I can go

To where the light shines brightly

They’re looking down on me — you’re looking down on them

There’s more to this matter than meets the eye

They’re looking down on you — I’m looking down on them

I’m not so sure if I like this state of mind

And if the sick bed starts to bother me

I will return, go home for a while

She changed my room around and round and anyway

She must hate all my old junk piles

After the coma lasted half a year I thought

Her way of life has been shaken

But now my son, he sells my keyboard

By and by, the boundaries have been taken

It is amazing how they, when you cannot hear

They speak and they brag about you

Oh, I don’t care — that is the beauty, when you die

But I’ll get my revenge soon

They’re looking down on me — you’re looking down on them

There’s more to this matter than meets the eye

They’re looking down on you — I’m looking down on them

I’m not so sure if I like this state of mind

I asked the angel right there from the very start

Will he forever be at my side?

He said, that all depends on how long this thing there

Can still write my life signs

I didn’t think of anything, but slowly I believe

That they need the beds

The doctor indicated to my lovely wife

That very soon I’ll be dead

I know it well, there’s not much time left for me now

I know I have to decide:

Will I now go through the door into the light

Or keep suffering in quiet?

They’re looking down on me — you’re looking down on them

There’s more to my struggle than meets the eye

They’re looking down on you — I’m looking down on them

But all is well, if just the angel’s on my side

They’re looking down on you — I’m looking down on them

There’s more to his struggle than meets the eye

They’re looking down on me — you’re looking down on them

But all is well, if just the angel’s on my side
