CPR Songtext
von Cole Jackson

Ambulance, for what city?
Uh, help I, I need help, please
Okay, what is the address of the emergency?
Uh, it′s-
And what's the phone number you′re calling from?
The phone number is-
Please, I need help
Okay, we're getting you help, tell me exactly what happened
Uh, my brother, his lips are blue
He's not awake
Please, I need you to get over here
I′m sending the paramedics to help
Stay on the line
And I′ll tell you exactly what to do next (okay, okay)
If there is a defibrilator available, send someone-
No, no there's no defibrilator, I don′t have one
Okay Listen carefully and I'll tell you how to do chest compressions
(okay, yeah)
Make sure he is flat on his back on the ground
With nothing under his head (yeah that′s done, that's done)
Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone
In the center of the chest
And put your other hand on top of that hand (okay)
Pump the chest hard and fast
At least twice per second and two inches deep
Let the chest come all the way up between pumps
We′re going to do this until help can take over
Count out loud so I can count with you
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4


The bones cracking
Dunno what's happening
I'mma take some action (1, 2, 3, 4)
Unpacking the trauma like a prima donna
She yackin′ (1, 2, 3, 4)
Heart attack and she keeping up the count
Of cardiac′s passing (1, 2, 3, 4)
Subtracting all the seconds
Lad just needed a lesson (1, 2, 3, 4)
Not an article after the fact
Saying he's packin′ the smack (1, 2, 3, 4)
And jabbin' it in
The trappings of one having distractions (1, 2, 3, 4)
Was only glancing away
Flapping my lips in exasperation (1, 2, 3, 4)
As he′s asking
If he can have a sack of what's under the mattress (1, 2, 3, 4)
Now he′s napping
But he's not waking up, I thought they were dispatched (1, 2, 3, 4)
Animal instincts took over when I saw the collapse (1, 2, 3, 4)
And the Agonal aspirations made me irrational fast (1, 2, 3, 4)
The matter of fact is that I'd snap
The first to react, but (1, 2, 3, 4)
Inadequate Fluvoxamine made an unpassable task (1, 2, 3, 4)
Accolades a cavalcade, she reassure to hide the pain (1, 2, 3, 4)
But actually I only need to hear that he won′t go today (1, 2, 3, 4)
Bastard gonna be getting it when he get up
What′s to say? (1, 2, 3, 4)
Not an actor, so the mask I wear carried away (1, 2, 3, 4)

Keep doing the compressions over and over (1, 2, 3, 4)
Don't give up (1, 2, 3, 4)
Tell me when they′re right there with him
Or if anything changes (1, 2, 3, 4)
I'll be right here with you the whole time (1, 2, 3, 4)

Ominous admission
Of a narcotic abomination (1, 2, 3, 4)
Left me complacent
Hoping good omens will open the basement (1, 2, 3, 4)
Door in a moment to show the crew of an EMR (1, 2, 3, 4)
He told me if I caught him blowing snow don′t do CPR (1, 2, 3, 4)
Forgoing his DNR, coached through the BLS (1, 2, 3, 4)
Think of tapes on the VCR, keep it up pumping the chest (1, 2, 3, 4)
Lonely and the arms starting to feel like baloney (1, 2, 3, 4)
Throw me a bone if you holding me, solo ode of shinobi (1, 2, 3, 4)
Howling up like Coyote, hoping my brother a Phoenix (1, 2, 3, 4)
And while I'm pogo and poking his soul
I know that he mean it (1, 2, 3, 4)
When he told me The Greatest Showman
Was a bowl and a needle (1, 2, 3, 4)
It′s a circus
I hope it worth it
When the goal was a lethal one (1, 2, 3, 4)
Slowly the Holy Ghost grab a hold of my throat (1, 2, 3, 4)
Feel the choking of prayers granted
Only those who devote (1, 2, 3, 4)
Only thing holding me onto this the woman I quote: (1, 2, 3, 4)
"1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 oh" (1, 2, 3, 4)

Don't stop CPR until the paramedics (1, 2, 3, 4)
Take over from you (1, 2, 3, 4)
And don't leave him alone until the paramedics arrive (1, 2, 3, 4)
Tell me when they′re right there with him (1, 2, 3, 4)

A bit of the Ritalin imminent for my constituents (1, 2, 3, 4)
Intimate institutional ire for when I interview (1, 2, 3, 4)
And tell everybody that ambulance
Is an interlude for denial (1, 2, 3, 4)
Instructions would flood the Nile (1, 2, 3, 4)
But little difference it makes
′Cause I'm fiddling with the stakes of his life (1, 2, 3, 4)
In my hands a sickle, in my heart a knife (1, 2, 3, 4)
She tell me don′t leave him, I'm fickle?
I′m 'bout to go Travis Bickle (1, 2, 3, 4)
Like shit, you talkin′ to me?
I start to feel non-committal (1, 2, 3, 4)
Because I'm fucking sick waiting for the ambulance (1, 2, 3, 4)
It's been like fucking twenty minutes
Since I called the paramedics (1, 2, 3, 4)
Twenty minutes since I had to tell them he′s pathetic (1, 2, 3, 4)
Twenty minutes
Fucking did it
Now I′m thinking it's genetic (1, 2, 3, 4)
What if I died too?
Now it′s me in his shoes (1, 2, 3, 4)
A sickening similarity, simply undo (1, 2, 3, 4)
All the infinite memories, and I'm thinking it′s true (1, 2, 3, 4)
All I need is the crew, all I need is, you (1, 2, 3, 4)

Is that the paramedics there? (1, 2, 3, 4)
Okay, I'm gonna let you go (1, 2, 3...)
You did a great job
Hello? Are you still there?
