Lyrics
Verse 1
Sirens screaming Coffee shakin’ in my hand You said unresponsive Hurry if you can Kick your door in Shoes still on the mat Where’s the patient You just point up at that
Pre-Chorus
Narrow staircase, fourteen turns Ceiling slants, my shoulders burn You smile, yeah, just one more floor I swear I’ve seen this house before
Chorus
Quick! Put them in the attic Behind the boxes and the dusty fan Winding maze, this is pure static You called for help then hid them where you can’t even stand Quick! Put them in the attic Tripping on tinsel and a Christmas tree If I hit my head again, I might need me Why is every call a low-budget tragedy?
Verse 2
Duck the beam Knock over your angel set Crawlspace yoga I’m breaking a sweat You say, "So sorry We don’t have a spare bed" I’m counting cobwebs Hanging over their head
Pre-Chorus
Check the pulse Check my back Stuck between Pink fiberglass You shout "Watch out!” “That step is weak" Yeah, thanks I found it with my knee
Chorus 2
Quick! Put them in the attic Next to yearbooks and your wedding dress Best place ever so cinematic Perfect for chest pain and respiratory stress Quick! Put them in the attic Where the air is ninety-five degrees If I drop this stretcher on my knees (oh please) I’ll bill you for emotional fees
Bridge
Basement? Bedroom? Living room floor? Let’s play "Find the Patient" Like it’s a game show tour "Is it A, the sofa? “The car out back?" "C! C! C! the attic!" I need hazard pay for this track
Chorus 3
Quick! Put them in the attic Balancing a backboard on a ladder rung Your cat’s attacking, my lungs are rattling You’re asking if the wait time’s long Quick! Put them in the attic Promise me the next time that you dial Pick a room at ground level Just once in a while So I can save a life And spare my spine in style
