Teddy Roxpin - Gesundheit lyrics

Smashed in the emergency room Screaming like a woman giving birth from her 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 car, hard Old lady snubnose, opposite a aardvark He was holding a cold Miller like Bode Then two shots to the heart, double Bon Jovi Now he's thinking like a record while the nurse applying pressure Freaking on a stretcher, definitely gonna die He had just pulled a knife on his wife in the night Old lady pops up, pow, pow, surprise They used to beat their son right in front of their mama His name wasn't Chris, left her looking Rihanna Three days a week, maybe four if the Pats lost Isaac wishing he could move to his dad's spot But tonight was different Stepdad collapsed backwards, smashed the dishes Blood puddles, linoleum in the kitchen While the old lady disappeared, efficient Like an a**a**in, 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 tryna do CPR As his blood run like DMC He's just 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 flatline died, that's the E-N-D 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 d**h before they ever held hands He'd never grow Tadpole to the Leviathan Live to learn to try and fail the love to feel to try again The nurse is 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, "Lean back, relax again" Sarah's heart pound, like her second husband right now Nancy frowns, saw that Sarah's head swelled around her hair "What happened to your head?" 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 that she explained It was transparent as a dad who had a s** change This was kinda 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 Isaac," 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 bring the heat into a cold world, what a reverse Too many women battered and beaten and bruised Bleeping and bleeding, got the blues cause their husband's attitude is a heathen So she took it in her own hands Pop pop, bring the grown out of "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 (Say ahhh) Tonight her victim had a Miller on his breath Played a villain, didn't know the k**er on his deck He liked to beat his wife in private Leave bruises the color of violet in front of her son, Isaac Nancy'd seen her at the hospital abused 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 her age Then Nancy popped up Told him "Stop," what? Pop pop, gun sound, then he dropped, what now? Sarah screamed out into the June night And put her hand to her mouth like gesundheit
