Mammoth

I am a wooly mammoth
Frozen in the ice
Now they're trying to bring me back to life
Took my double-helix, from the perma-frost
I remember all the friends I've lost

The scalpel underneath my skin
That's the cost to start again
A lonely wait for bells to chime
There'll be no bride or Frankenstein

If I could go back, go back, to you
If I could go back, would I want to?

The last thing I remember, before the wade of snow
Was how the aurora-borealis glowed
Four-thousand years, four-thousand dreams
I woke to radios and computer screens

They speak a language I don't know
They cut my flesh and freeze my bones
A box to Oxford, my heart to Spain
The whitecoat men don't say my name
Do they even know me?

If I could go back, go back, to you
If I could go back, would I want to?

If I could go back, go back, to you
If I could go back, would I want to?

I am a wooly mammoth
Frozen in the ice
