Life (Support)

Your dog has lost his tag and now he has no name
 Your mobile phone drink deep of vodka and shame
 Watching you as you move
 I see you panicking in your locked room
 It took me a lifetime to realise you were just an actor
 A curtain twitcher's feast
 I lie down in incoming traffic and I make my peace
 It took me a lifetime to realise I was just an anchor
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
 A gap to fill in your gill
 Wrap it up as a pill
 I got down on your lap steel
 Just me and the crows and the garden fence
 Searching for hard-earned recompense
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
 A broken racket machination
 Like a madman masturbating in the train station
 Circuitous defeat
 Deafening sideways rush
 Still standing grimace
 As I collapse to the floor
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
 Somebody turn off the life support machine
 Somebody turn off the life support please
