Suddenly every machine stopped at once,
And the monitors beeped the last time
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds,
And all of them empty but mine

Well, I was lying down with my feet in the air,
Completely unable to move
The bed was mis-shaped, and awkward and tall,
And clearly intended for you

You checked yourself out when you put me to bed,
And tore that old band off your wrist
But you came back to see me for a minute or less,
And left me your ring in my fist

My hair started growing, my face became yours,
My femur was breaking in half
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream,
So instead, I just started to laugh

Suddenly every machine stopped at once,
And the monitors beeped the last time
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds,
And all of them empty but mine
