Lyrics

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 something 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 reasons why
But until then, all I know is what I need to know
Everything I do's been done before
Every idea in my head, someone else has said
At each end of my life is an open door
