Lyrics
Intro
One shot One chance One simple design Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh!
Verse 1
Dinner was going just fine Till the hives started climbing up high Lips getting bigger by the second And breathing's getting harder every time Someone's yelling call nine-one-one Someone's asking what they ate a hero comes charging through the crowd With an EpiPen ready to save the day He tears it open like a pro Everybody moves aside He's got confidence to spare And determination in his eyes There's just one tiny little problem One detail he let slide Which end goes toward the patient Guess we're gonna find out tonight
Pre-Chorus
There are pictures on the label There are colors on the side There's one simple rule You need to keep in mind
Chorus
Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh! When the airway starts to close You don't get a second try Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh! It's a beautifully simple system If you hold the damn thing right!
Verse 2
He plants his fist against the leg Everybody holds their breath Pushes down and waits to hear That little click that's supposed to help For half a second, he's victorious Till the patient doesn't change Then a burning in his own hand Says something went terribly strange He slowly turns his fist around And everybody understands Orange end pointing at the ceiling And the needle's in his hand
Verse 3
Now the patient's still there wheezing And our hero needs attention too One problem walked into the story Congrats, well now there's two One needs epi for the reaction One needs someone checking out his hand And somewhere there's a paramedic Trying hard to understand There were colors There were arrows There were pictures on the side Yet somehow all those helpful clues Were simply cast aside
Pre-Chorus
Say it once Say it twice Burn these words into your mind Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh!
Chorus
Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh! When the airway starts to close You don't get a second try Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh! It's a beautifully simple system If you hold the damn thing right!
Bridge
You wanted to be the hero You wanted to save the day Your heart was in the right place Your thumb just got in the way So if another emergency Should ever come your way Remember what you've learned here And everybody say
Build
Blue sky Orange thigh Blue sky Orange thigh Read directions Check before injection Blue to the sky Orange to the thigh You tried to save one patient And somehow multiplied
Final Chorus
Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh! Scream it from the rooftops So nobody gets it wrong next time Blue to the sky! Orange to the thigh!
