David Wilcox - When You're Ready Lyrics
from What You Whispered..............................................You say you get so haunted by these memoriesWell of course there must be plenty that you'd just as soon forgetHere's a chance to wash away your historyWe haven't tried this on civilians yetBut you'll have to take that risk to get this chance at richesAnd how much could it be worth to keep those same bad dreamsJust climb up on the table and let me throw the switchesIts really a remarkable machineAnd the switch is by your headAnd when its done, you won't know how you got hereBut you could write yourself a letter, yes you'll still know how to readJust draw yourself a map to where you're livingAnd put a label on each one of your keysWhen your friends will try to tease you, you just won't rememberWhat a fool your were in high school over some old flameJust climb up on the table I can quench the emberThe past will never bother you againAnd the switch is by your head when you're readyTruth be told, this big machine does nothingThere's a change that brings a difference into all these people's livesTo free them from the past that was their prisonWhat gives them passage is just the fact that they decideYou see this big machine is harmless, it just scares them shitlessIts louder than a spaceship and the lights are strangeThey climb up on the table and I throw the switchesAnd it helps them to believe that they can changeAnd the switch is by your head when you're ready..............................................Lyrics reprinted by kind permission of Soroka Music Ltd., all rights reservedCopyright 2000 published by Midnight Ocean Bonfire Music (ASCAP)Cindy Lou My Dea
