5905 lyrics

Mother was an incubator

Father was the contents

Of a test tube in the icebox

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

Everything I do`s been done before

Ev`ry sentence in my head

Someone else has said

At the end of my life is an open door



Automatically defrosted

My manhood came on time

I became a man

I left the ICE school behind

And now I`m to begin

The life that I`m assigned

A life that`s been lived before

A thousand times



I have a feelin` deep inside

That something is missin`

There`s a feelin` in my soul

And I can`t help wishin`

That one day I`ll discover

That we`re livin` a lie

And I`ll tell the whole world

The reasons why



But until then, all I know is what I need to know

Everything I do`s been done before

Ev`ry idea in my head

Someone else has said

At the end of my life is an open door
