Hamburger Lady

Throbbing Gristle

By far, worst is the hamburger lady
We must heal them for the qualified technicians,
Worse
Alternating nights, unrelievedly
She's lying there.

She's dying
She is burned from the waist up
On her arm
Her ear is burned off,
her nose is burned off,
her eyelashes are burned,
her fingers are burned
She can't hold anything up
and with medical advances,
there's no end in sight
for the hamburger lady
When somebody tells you there’s a level of pain
beyond the human mind
The lady on the potty-chair
Leave her,
She's not burned from the waist down
That’s what keeps her alive
The tubes
and the nightmares

He was okay when he went to go change the tubes
Tubes in her legs,
and tubes in her arms
and he managed okay
Then it came out and saw one of the burn nurses
at the desk, eating a can of chilli-mac
and he flashed on the carpet,
and he flashed on the floor
The hamburger lady,
She came to rest
They’re squeamish
can’t work with her and keep their meal down
the “qualified technicians”
