Traction Blues Songtext
von Spin Doctors

Coffee at the hospital
Was a low-down, nasty sludge
I got nineteen compound fractures
And now I′m talking to the judge

And if that judge don't bust you in
I′ll take it to the one above
'Cause I would not be in traction
If I did not fall in love

Call me a dumbbell
Call me a spoiled sport
I tumble down your staircase
And now I'm taking you to court


And if that court don′t bust you in
I′ll take it to, I'll take it to the one above
′Cause I would not be in traction
If I did not fall in love
(Witness for the prosecution)

My arm, my first three fingers
They are in a plaster glove
I would not be on morphine
I swear by God above
I would not be in traction
If I did not fall in love

And if that court don't bust you in
I′ll take you to, I'll take you to, I′ll take you to the one above
'Cause I would not be in traction
If I did not fall in love
If I did not fall in love
If I did not fall in love
If I did not fall in love
If I did not fall in love
