Send Me Home Lyrics
Rooms full of spirits surround me
They're as real as they can be
Every morning I plant my shaky feet
On an earth so hard and mean
Body's broken, systems' failed
You care for me to no avail
No reward, no it's not fair
And I'd be on my way
If I wasn't so damn scared
Oh, will you send me home [x2]
I can't go, but I can't go on
I wanna stay but I ain't got long
Will you send me home
Time to move on
Every morning a new pain
I weep to greet the day
Get me out of this wretched shell
Crack me open, wish me well
Put me in a simple box
In a patch of dirt
Send me on to greener pastures
Or to worse
Whatever comes
It's mine and mine alone
And if I have to ask you
Would you send me home?
Oh, will you send me home
I can't go, but I can't go on
I want to stay
But I ain't got long
Will you send me home? [x6]
Time to move on
They're as real as they can be
Every morning I plant my shaky feet
On an earth so hard and mean
You care for me to no avail
No reward, no it's not fair
And I'd be on my way
If I wasn't so damn scared
I can't go, but I can't go on
I wanna stay but I ain't got long
Will you send me home
Time to move on
I weep to greet the day
Get me out of this wretched shell
Crack me open, wish me well
In a patch of dirt
Send me on to greener pastures
Or to worse
It's mine and mine alone
And if I have to ask you
Would you send me home?
I can't go, but I can't go on
I want to stay
But I ain't got long
Time to move on

This song, even if simpler than most MBD lyrics, is still very powerful and moving. In my opinion this is about euthanasia and nothing more. One of my favorites from this album and from this band
