Lyrics
Smashed in the emergency room
Screaming like a woman giving birth from the womb
Feeling like he'd fallen to the Earth from the moon
What a turbulent gloom
He got shot in the chest
Two bullets ripped the flesh
The blood soaked the Carhartt
Old lady snub nose, opposite of aardvark
He was holding a cold Miller like Bodhi
Then two shots through the heart, double Bon Jovi
Now he's leaking like a record while the nurse applying pressure
Freaking on the stretcher, definitely gonna die
He had just pulled a knife on his wife in the night
Old lady pops up, pow pow, surprise
It used to be their son right in front of their mama
His name wasn't Chris, left her looking Rihanna
Three days out the week, maybe four if the past lost
Issac wishing he could move to his dad's spot
But tonight was different
Step-dad collapsed backwards, smashed the dishes
Blood puddled linoleum in the kitchen
While the old lady disappeared efficient
Like an assassin, in and out, the hit impeccable
All she left, her calling card, it was a stethoscope
But nobody caught the face on her
His family screaming like they're at a Drake concert
So now it's looking like ER
George Clooney trying to do CPR
As his blood run like DMC
He's reminiscing, had a GMC
Spent the weekends free
With Sarah, singing CMT
Before she was his wife
Before she feared for her life
Nancy winked behind the EMT
Then he flatlined, died, that's the END
Or is it three weeks previous?
Sarah's crying cause her fetus is dying before he ever had a chance
Took his last breath
Little heart in his chest met death before they ever held hands
He'd never grow, tadpole to leviathan
And live to learn to try to fail to love to feel to try again
The nurse was Nancy on the night he died
The elephant in the room let out a mighty sigh
But Nancy knew the deal though
As she put the stethoscope to the earlobes
Sarah said "It was an accident"
Nancy rolled her eyes, leaned back, relax again
Sarah's heart pounding like her second husband right now
Nancy frowned, saw that Sarah's head swelled around a hair
Sarah said "I fell down the stairs"
But Nancy checked the blood pressure and knew
That Sarah was a victim of domestic abuse
Nancy wishes she could teach her man a lesson or two
So Nancy saw through the lies as she explained
It was transparent like a dad who had a sex change
And this was kind of like a cry for help
Her baby just died, she could die herself
Plus her other son was living in this hell
He was age twelve
(What's his name?) His name's Issac
Tears dripping from his eyelids
Sitting in the corner playing Angry Birds
Forgetting angry words he heard in private
He didn't sniffle, he just let the tears trickle in silence
The smile that he wore to school was one of his disguises
He would soon exit from the cycle of violence
But that'll have to wait for the encore
Tonight tears shed like where you keep the lawnmower
Three weeks later
Nurse Nancy in the '09 Sentra
Scrubs, leather gloves and her dentures
Got a sticker on the back window
NPR turned up like the Bat-Signal
Thirty years now working as a nurse
So she's seen it all from the birth to the hearse
So she lurked with the pistol in the purse
Always bringing heat into a cold world, what a reverse
Too many women battered and beaten and bruised, bleeding and bleeding
They got the blues cause their husband's attitude is a heathen
So she took it in her own hands
Pop pop, bring a grown out a grown man
She kept the heater, that's a nine millimeter
She had caught more bodies than a male cheerleader
Every victim was a child abuser or wife beater
She would heat 'em up and give 'em all a fever
Tonight her victim had the Miller on his breath
Played the villain, didn't know the killer
On his dad, he liked to beat his wife in private
Leave bruises the color of violet
In front of her son Issac
Nancy seen her at the hospital of youth
She was too afraid to run away, impossible to move
So Nancy slid up in the room like
Stethoscope glinting in the moonlight
But he hadn't seen it sparkle yet
The middle of the physical argument
He had the veins popping out the face Marlboro red
Her uniform, medical mask masquerade
Somersault behind the table like a woman half-erased
And Nancy popped up, pow, told him stop, what?
Pop pop, gun sounds, then he dropped, what now?
Sarah screamed out into the June night
And put her hand to her mouth like gesundheit
