lyrics

Oh to live forever
Wouldn't it be nice
Just to be suspended
In a block of ice

It might cost me a fortune
I really wouldn't care
I'd rather be in the future
Than hanging around here

Ah to be a spaceman
On my way to Mars
Cruising 'round the planets
Instead of hanging 'round in bars

Cybernetic systems
Doing it for me
It's gonna be much better
Than watching it happening on TV

They wrapped me up in bandage
In a plastic bag
Shoved me in a cylinder
My name is on the tag

They're pumping in the fluid
Its getting really cold
I hope that this is better
Than getting very old

To wake up in the future
Hundred years from now
I won't be any younger
But at least I'll be around

Hypodermic needles
To bring me back to life
All done by computers
I just hope they can get it right

It's cold
So cold
Oh so cold in here
So cold

I hope that they remember
When I'm dead and gone
Will they make the payments
To keep the power switched on

I hope that they remember
They're playing with your life
Or will I spend the rest of me time
In this block of ice

Cause I could be a spaceman
On my way to Mars
Cruising 'round the planets
Instead of hanging 'round in bars

Cybernetic systems
Doing it for me
It's gonna be much better
Than watching it happening on TV

To wake up in the future
Hundred years from now
I won't be any younger - ha ha
But at least I'll be around

Hypodermic needles
To bring me back to life
All done by computers
I just hope they can get it right

I'll tell you forever
Wouldn't it be nice
Just to be suspended
In a block of ice

Oh to live forever
Wouldn't it be nice
Just to be suspended
In a block of ice
