Lyrics for Song: When You're Ready
Lyrics for Album: What You Whispered [2000]



You say you get so haunted by these memories

Well of course there must be plenty

That you'd just as soon forget

Here's a chance to wash away your history

We haven't tried this on civilians yet



But you'll have to take that risk

To get this chance at riches

And how much could it be worth

To keep those same bad dreams



Just climb up on the table

Let me throw the switches

It's really a remarkable machine

And the switch is by your head



And when it's done

You won't know how you got here

But you could write yourself a letter

Yes you'll still know how to read



Just draw yourself a map to where you're living

And put a label on each one of your keys

When your friends will try to tease you

You just won't remember



What a fool you were in high school over some old flame

Just climb up on the table, I can quench the ember

The past will never bother you again

And the switch is by your head when you're ready



Truth be told, this big machine does nothing

But there's a change that brings

A difference into all these people's lives



To free them from the past

That was their prison

What gives them passage

Is just the fact that they decide



You see this big machine is harmless

It just scares them shitless

It's louder than a spaceship

And the lights are strange



They climb up on the table and I throw the switches

And it helps them to believe that they can change

Ahh but the switch is by your head when you're ready

When you're ready, when you're ready
