I'm waiting at your bedside. I'm waiting for a sign. I
never sleep, "Bleep..bleep" means I'm contented. I'll be
fine...And I know it's been a year now, and I know it
could be five. Don't care what doctors recommend I'll
keep you alive. (No matter what it takes, I'll wait. I'll
keep you alive.) Took a liver from a preacher, had that
crooked jaw re-shaped. That ol' heart was shipped from
Zanzibar. Those arteries have been scraped. When it's
over you'll be happy - like being born a second time.
Don't care what the neighbours say, I'll keep you alive
(No matter what it takes, I'll wait. I'll keep you
alive...) If you could only answer me, I know you'd give
a nod, and keep that little white light blinking... No I
am not playing God. It's the Lord above who pulls the
strings, He does not pull the plug. And I remain his
humble servant, fingers double-crossed for luck. I'll
keep you alive. (No matter what it takes, I'll wait. I'll
keep you alive.)
