I've cleaned these blades a thousand times
And still he looks away
I never seem to catch his eye
No matter what I say
Although I offer helpful words
He likes me silent, still
My hands are steady as he saws
My grip firm as he drills
Oh Doctor! I repeat again
You've changed the diseased
An arm, a leg, an organ too
They're now a masterpiece
He takes the best of everyone
And has me grind debris
I turn the crank, twist and yank
For him to notice me
Oh, such genius, perfect brain, my obsession and my curse
I live for the moment when you say. "Hello, nurse.'
Oh Doctor! Can't you see me here
My bleached white dress and cap
The blood blooms red, and slowly spreads
It holds me to your trap
He will have me cleanse the limbs
Before he saws them through
And sometimes, when I see his care
I pray he'll saw me, too
Doctor, do you see me here? I'm severing his leg
Doctor, please, just look at me! Don't make me have to beg
Oh, perfection, utter joy, nothing could be worse.
I live for the moment when you say. "Hello, nurse'
When the operation room goes dark
It's really just us two
I guess the patient counts for three
But there's not much he can do
I'll hand you instruments
All part of your design
And maybe after the this procedure
Youll finally be all mine
Doctor, do you see me here? I'm cutting through the bone
Doctor, please, don't shut me out. you don't have to be alone
Oh, such genius, perfect brain, my obsession and my curse
I live for the moment when you say. "Hello, nurse.'
