Heimlich Maneuver

Arrogant Worms · Dirt [1999]

I love you so much

I need the Heimlich Maneuver

The sun goes down on another day

A day where I haven't found love



I try to eat but all I taste

Is the flavour of a broken heart

Then I saw you across the room

I gasp and my breathing stops



My heart's in my throat..

Or is it a potato?

I love you so much

I need the Heimlich Maneuver



Your love sticks like

A turkey bone in my throat

She's in my thoughts and

It'll need a jolt to remove her



My love is consummating

While I'm asphyxiating

Over her

When I wake up I'm on the floor



Faint and dizzy and alone

My stomach hurts I think

My ribs are cracked

I'm not sure if I'm in a dream



I turn my head and there you are

I call out and my breathing stops

It's her again..

Punching my esophagus



I love you so much

I need the Heimlich Maneuver

Your love sticks like

A turkey bone in my throat



She's in my thoughts and

It'll need a jolt to remove her

Before my expiration

I need resusitation



Mouth to mouth

She throws water in my face

Slaps my cheek

Helps me back on my stool



She's a waitress here but in the night

She's a student at the nursing school

She comes again with a smile and the bill

I pick it up and choke again



She's charged me for my lunch

And for the medical procedure

I love you so much

I need the Heimlich Maneuver



Your love sticks like

A turkey bone in my throat

She's in my thoughts and

It'll need a jolt to remove her



For my lasting endurance

I'll need medical insurance

For my bill

For me to get some peace



I'll need a tracheotomy

Or an air bag.
