They got you a bed in the hall at the hospital 
so high on morphine you can't even tell 
the lights above my head aren't halos coming down

We got the titantic sinking in the waiting room
the academy's finest portraying its doom
and I'm out here alone watching this ship going down

why do I, why do I worry I might be going home alone tonight 

over capacity here at the hospital
with the finest equipment best doctors on call
and its looking likely that we'll be heading home soon

time ticks away at least its what we like to say
try to catch up by your dying day

time ticks away....
