5.905 Lyrics - Singles - John Entwistle

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
