I. Introduction

II. Dead On A Car Park Floor (Part One)
I'm dead on a car park floor
But my nerve endings feel no pain,
Though there's no life in my face or my body,
There's activity in the brain.
Sounds of the street outside here,
Still make it through to my ears,
And the sounds of distant voices,
Are the hallmark of my fears
Everything I though about has come to pa**
(But in its own way)
Everything is dead and gone but...
...to other folks it's still another day
Everything I thought about!
There was nothing I could live without
Everything I dreamed about
and all my life are ended..
Here...
Tonight.
I'm dead on a car park floor,
And I can only see the roof.
No Eye movement to the left or the right
Can deny this simple truth
No messages from the muscles,
No more spasms down the spine,
No reaction to the simple facts
Of all that is mine
III. Afterlife What? (Part One)
The air in here is stifling me,
The sound of engines fills the air,
I'm lying, still staring, still....
Watching the roof. (Which stays the same)
Touches of panic here and there,
Voices of a few who seem to care. (Are you all right?)
Or are they just frightened?
Just people who want to get on home?
And the five o clock rush will go on without me
As if I never was
And here on this floor,
I'm still waiting....
To be carried away.
Carried away.
When I was young I had these dreams,
Nightmares of cogs in great machines,
And flowers, rubber stamped, with a ringing sound
That I still can't explain.....
But as I never got caught in all the wheels,
Perhaps I was a PART of that device,
An inconsequential pinion in the structure I called “life”

VII. Afterlife What? (Part Two)
Looking out from my concrete grave,
There's nothing left alive for me to save,
And all life's intentions are
Crowding in and shouting for their time.
And I'm waiting for the transport to arrive,
As if somehow it could help me to survive,
And take me from this world
Deliver me to something so much more
Just outside here, the gears are still turning,
As if nothing had changed,
And here on this floor,
I'm still waiting.....
To be carried away.
Carried away.
