lyrics

The doctor by trade had been seen at the aide
of the distinguished patients 'round town
His track record was often cause for applause
adoration and equal renown

He was always so sure curiosity pure-ly
would one day take him from this life,
til distraction hit, his heart fell in a pit
as he sadly sat by his ill wife.

There is something to knowing your limits,
and something to owning your wrongs,
but there's no other person alive that can sing
the sorrow of loss in a song.

So the doctor well tried, but of course his wife died
as we all will as well one day,
We all wish it weren't true, but it's the one price that you
and I are guaranteed to pay

Now he sits in an armchair watching screens where
he can still reminisce
Of the way that he once had it all til the months
when he squandered his ignorant bliss.

There is no way of knowing the limits
or the ways which life can go wrong,
Now there must be some way that a person can sway
and undo the fate of their song,

We have technologies that can mimic nearly
anything that we could please.
So the doctor decides to let his hands be guides
to cancel our final release.

So with video cams, sensors and plans
installed in each person on earth,
We could never suffer the fate of the doctor
We'd just suffer soulless rebirth.

There is no way of knowing the limits
and believe nothing could now go wrong,
Because now there's a way to finally
Undo the fate of the song
