Ambulance vs. Ambulance Lyrics
Ambulance X extracts several consultants
from the slow gumming death at the office orifice.
Ambulance Y imprisons the sigh
of the recent amputee and dumps her in the xylophone trees.
Ambulance X scours the tanning complex
for Repunzels rotting in their skin cooking coffins.
Ambulance Y drops the body off at the door step.
Ambulance X pulls you out of the party
and rubs your freckles like a DJ to his records
but Ambulance Y teaches you the word goodbye
and cuts off your hands to show you where you stand,
under the monolith of
what is love and what is scam,
what is sun and what is tan.
The Ambulance Angels pull up to your doorstep
the sirens flash emergency, "oh yeah you'd better come quick."
The Ambulance Angels chisel a crack in your mouth,
and then they paint a landscape of your regret and shouts.
Roll tape and decode the moans,
ventilate the scandal from these locked up mouth holes.
You'll never see your wife and children again
So tell us what it was going through your head
When you looked into their eyes and said
"No thanks, I'll take the hooker instead"
Roll tape and decode the moans,
ventilate the scandal from these locked up mouth holes.
You'll never see that office again
so when the nurse amputates both of your thighs
come a little bit closer to the mic and tell us what you miss more, your desk or the hungry sky.
The Ambulance Angels all pull up to the graveyard,
and leave you there bubbling broken sonnets and shards.
The Ambulance Angels notify your next of kin and show them the scrapbook of your operation:
"His head was a faucet leaking love, laughter and lies:
all his secret wishes. all his world famous sighs.
Before you roll over, oh yeah before you give in,
just remember we're coming back for your children.
from the slow gumming death at the office orifice.
Ambulance Y imprisons the sigh
of the recent amputee and dumps her in the xylophone trees.
Ambulance X scours the tanning complex
for Repunzels rotting in their skin cooking coffins.
Ambulance Y drops the body off at the door step.
Ambulance X pulls you out of the party
and rubs your freckles like a DJ to his records
but Ambulance Y teaches you the word goodbye
and cuts off your hands to show you where you stand,
under the monolith of
what is love and what is scam,
what is sun and what is tan.
the sirens flash emergency, "oh yeah you'd better come quick."

Wow, no one has said anything about this song yet. I like it.
great song. fav song of the album.
''No thanks I'll take the Hooker Insted'' best part of the song! Much love for the Blood Brothers! <3
It's amazing. Lyrically it's so amazing...but vocally it shows how beautifully they juxtapose melody and chaos
anyone know the background in this song?
this song is the one that got me hooked on the Blood Brothers... pure genius
i think the blood brothers are an acquired taste. i mean i think they are fantastic but my boyfriend says this was the first song he downloaded and he hated it.
oh well. i love the lyrics.. they're so random!
This song makes me wanna dance.
New video to this song. It's GREAT. It's just as artistic as the song itself... If you read through all of their lyrics for their albums, especially Burn Piano Island, Burn you notice the Blood Brothers take on a bit of a progressive edge. The Ambulance Angels are in a way like his punishment for everything he did wrong. He gave up on the things that mean most to him, family, job, for his dirty fantasies. I honestly can't decipher the meaning of most of the Blood Brothers songs since it's quite metaphorical, though.
wow this song is amazing.. i don't think i could ever get sick of it. but onthestereo's right.. it is an acquired taste. when i first heard the song i was didn't care for it much, but after hearing it a few times i couldn't go back.
"Ambulance X scours the tanning complex for repunzels rotting in their skin cooking coffins."
thats great.. just because i am OPPOSED to tanning. and i love the last chorus. i just want to dance.
well anyways. as far as what it means. ambulance X is obviously doing the rescuing, while ambulance Y is reporting the bad news.
maybe i'll add more later.
