Number City Lyrics

Attention we have got
A medical emergency
The patient's condition
Is critical and fading

Oh, I've got this under control
But there's no guarantee
Now should you question
This professional opinion
It's time we'll spend wasting

And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me

This case is possibly the worst
That I have ever seen
I see how vulnerable we
As people can truly be

And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me
And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me

Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart if you, honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go

A radio transmission sent
To get the heart to listen

A radio transmission sent
To get the heart to listen

Oh, this is love from a gurney
Oh, this is love from a gurney
Oh, this is love from a gurney

Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart if you, honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go

Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart if you, honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go

Cover art for Number City lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

This song is a flash-forward from the award ceremony in "The Hard Sell"; ambulances arrive at the scene of a gruesome car accident and the EMTs survey the surroundings. The driver of a small car lost control and slammed into a huge truck; ejecting driver and passenger from the car and leaving both with critical injuries.

Though Sirius is in critical condition, he is still able to remain conscious long enough to see that Meri is in a considerably worse state. The EMTs test her blood for the transfusion she is clearly going to need, but discover something else in her bloodwork -- she was pregnant. As the EMTs load the couple into ambulances, Meri's heart stops and they attempt to bring her back to life.

Holy fuck. What a powerful story in such a quirky song.
