Lyrics
Verse 1
Room twelve, alarms are screaming Coffee shaking in my hand Clipboard like a plastic shield I improvise a master plan You ask me what the story is Why the meds, why the line I flip through blanks and scribbled words Say, wow! This patient’s not mine
Chorus
First day, I swear I just got back from lunch I don’t even work on this floor I was on vacation all year First day, I swear I’ve never seen them before I think I took a wrong door First day, I swear I swear I have no idea what’s going on here
Verse 2
You say, what time did this start I say, what time is ‘start’ to you I blame a ghost with a stethoscope And a raccoon in scrubs that flew I say I’m just the temp today I’m actually from I.T. I point at random oxygen Pretty sure they came with that, not me
Chorus 2
First day, I swear I just got back from lunch I don’t even work on this floor I was on vacation all year First day, I swear I’ve never seen them before I think I took a wrong door First day, I swear I swear I have no idea what’s going on here
Bridge
Maybe I was parking cars Maybe I was making fries Maybe I was in the gift shop Color-matching alibis Maybe I’m a hologram Maybe this is just a drill Maybe I’m a barista Can I top you off while they refill?
Chorus 3
First day, I swear I just got back from lunch I don’t even work on this floor I was on vacation all year First day, I swear I’ve never seen them before I think I took a wrong door First day, I swear I swear I have no idea what’s going on here First day, I swear And somehow I’m still standing right here
