James Lyrics

"Dr. Hellier" lyrics


Dr Hellier says
That my body's Afghanistan
And we can't let the Taliban
Take over and breed

He says there's only one answer
In a nuclear age, man
They might spread to Pakistan
So we have to proceed

He enters my bloodstream
With a crew in a capsule
He takes the wheel
With hands that were made to heal

ah la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
ah la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la

As he approaches the death star
We lose visual contact
And that's when my temple
Turned into a wasteland

They were shouting and shooting
When the capsule was taken
His last words as he went down
"Press the button"

He slipped my fingers from death's grip
Escaped my body on a passenger ship
Watched T-cells playing in bow-waves

He lives for the ones that died
Don't know how he came to survive
Just know he owes it to them to be happy

ah la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
ah la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
la la-la la-la la-la-la-la
