Only a Downstat

Gary Numan

Only a downstat, personality problem
He would say things like "I love
You" and cry real tears
Met him in some place like
A home for old mothers
Where the cure is always death
But no one ever leaves

He wore a number seven badge on his collar
He would show it with pride and say
"It means I can feel"
He'd bribe the warders to
Send letters to someone
Who didn't even know his name but
Said she'd read them anyway

Plus seven deviant writes poetry for people
Who deny he's alive and said
"I'll mention that name"
A violator of the law of no feelings
They should be put in the
Chair until their eyes dilate

If you have reasons, I might sell you my time
I'll leave it under the stairs
In a body of mine
Old memories are slowly fading out of me
We are the unknowns, we are all you need
