Surgery - Iva Davies (Icehouse)

happy
whatever makes you happy
whatever makes you smile
I get no pleasure out of
carving up this specimen

be careful
you should be more careful
be careful with that scalpel
something might get broken
someone could get hurt
this kind of

surgery
this surgery won’t help me
the cavity is empty
so just get it over
get it over soon
this surgery won’t help me
get it over, get it done
this surgery won’t help me
get it over, make it....

numb
forget about it now
I can’t remember 
how it was 
or what I said
or what you said
I just forget myself
I forgot myself
forget about yourself
this surgery won’t help me
get it over, get it done
this surgery won’t help

happy
whatever makes you happy
be careful with that scalpel
something might get broken
someone could get hurt
this kind of
surgery
this surgery won’t help me
forget about it now
I get no pleasure out of
vivisecting specimens
just get it over
get it over soon
this surgery  won’t help me
get it over, get it done
this surgery won’t help me
get it over, make it numb
this surgery won’t help
just get it over soon
