Verse 1:

Doctor comes in frowning, says she has bad news for me:

Cancer fills my body. It's metastasized, you see?

Doc, I got it covered. I don't need old skin and bones.

Got a friend on Venus, where my new body's been grown.

(Chorus)

 

Chorus:

Swore he'd save me, said he'd rescue my mind.

Soon I'd have a brand new body, leave this old shell behind.

 

Verse 2:

Doc, claims I imagined all my friend on Venus said,

Talking to my children, telling each I'll soon be dead.

One more dose of morphine. I imagine my dark grave.

Wish my friend would hurry while my mind's still here to save.

(Chorus)

 

Verse 3:

Get my things in order, hoping my smart doctor's wrong.

Where's my friend on Venus? Don't know why he takes so long.

I smell the Grim Reaper; when he touches me I'll die.

Beg my friend on Venus.  He ignores my feeble cry.
