My first song, and my favorite.
Just me.
All songs recorded using Apple's GarageBand. Drum parts composed using Zygoat Doggiebox.
Story behind the song
I got a heart cath for my 53rd birthday.
Lyrics
Code Blue
1. Well, my shift was almost over, had some lovin' on my mind,
Just one more kid with fever and it's quittin' time.
Someone's grandpa's got pneumonia, he's just waitin' on a bed.
I can't wait to get outa here and empty my head.
I was thinkin' 'bout my baby at the end of my night
When the call came in from ICU at 6:55.
Code Blue!
Somebody's tryin' to die!
Code Blue!
It ain't no URI!
Code Blue!
It's got me on the run,
Code Blue!
Just when I thought I was done.
My baby's gotta wait because I'm gonna be late,
Code Blue!
2. Three forty-five on a Sunday afternoon,
The patients keep on comin' and they've filled up all my rooms.
There's a 3 week old with fever that I'm gonna have to tap.
A broken hip, a busted lip, a dude who's got the clap.
Got a needle in my hand and I'm about to pierce some skin
When Medic 10 encodes and says they're on their way in. It's
Code Blue!
Somebody's tryin' to go to heaven!
Code Blue!
Yeah, but I ain't gonna let 'em!
Code Blue!
I'll stick a tube down your trachea!
Code Blue!
If you don't want to breathe, I'll make ya!
When you fall down like a rock, that's when I give you a shock,
Code Blue!
Epinephrine, vasopressin, amiodarone,
Lidocaine, magnesium, the daughter's on the phone.
Atropine, adenosine, DC is a friend of mine.
Verapamil, procainamide, diltiazem, ibutilide.
3. I'm headed down Johnson street, I'm on my way home.
I'm comin' for you, mama, and I'm comin' alone.
I pull into my driveway, walk on up to my door.
I get inside, then something almost knocks me to the floor.
The last thing I remember, someone turned out the lights.
Now my baby's dialin' 911 and fadin' out of sight.
Code Blue!
It ain't my time to die!
Code Blue!
Discharge the paddles 'til I fry!
Code Blue!
Oh Lord, I promise not to smoke
Code Blue!
And I won't eat no more pork
I promise I'll do better if you let me off this stretcher!
Code Blue!
Code Blue!
Code Blue!
Code Blue!
Code Blue!
