Night Surgeon
Darren Smith & Terrance Zdunich Lyrics

Dear Marni, I am so sorry
Nathan apologizes to Marni for what he has done.

Can you forgive me for this?
Nathan asks for Marni's forgiveness.

Not the debt doctor
Rotti is not just any physician.

With the hungry scalpel
Rotti wields a very sharp, dangerous tool.

Here's my prognosis:
Rotti has examined the patients and will now reveal his assessment.

Will they live?
Rotti wants to know if his patients will survive.

Doubtful
The chances of the patients' survival are low.

You're the street physician,
Luigi is a doctor who operates on the street.

Carving flesh sculptures
Luigi creates gruesome works of art.

Paint your ass like Rembrandt!
Pavi encourages artistic expression, even on oneself.

Ha, you like-a that?
Pavi wants to make sure Luigi approves of their attitude towards art.

Better start praying
It's time to start appealing to a higher power.

When you see him coming
Be aware and be afraid, he's on his way.

'Cause tonight it's curtains!
The end is near; it's all over for whoever he's after.

You're the night surgeon!
Luigi, Pavi, and Rotti are referring to Nathan.

Remember who you are
The chorus reminds Nathan of his identity and his past actions.

I remember
Nathan asserts his memory of everything he's done.

Remember what you did to Marni
The genterns want Nathan to recall his actions against Marni.

Remember what you did
The genterns want Nathan to remember all of his actions, not just those related to Marni.

See your knife!
The genterns are admiring Nathan's weapon of choice.

Perfect!
The genterns approve of Nathan's technique.

Who's your night surgeon?
Luigi, Pavi, and Rotti ask this rhetorically, knowing the answer is Nathan.

Hope you have my money
Rotti is concerned that he may not be paid for his services.

Or it's bon vogyage-y!
If payment is not received, Rotti threatens to cause harm.

He'll do your ass like dishes
Luigi paints a violent image of what will happen if payment is not made.

Am-pu-at-tion!
Cutting off limbs is mentioned as a possible consequence of non-payment.

I remember every dying whisper
Nathan recalls any final words spoken by his victims as they passed away.

Every desperate murmur
Nathan remembers any sounds his victims made while dying.

I remember when I gaze upon her
When Nathan sees Marni's likeness, he remembers his actions that led to her demise.

She looks just like you
He sees Marni in someone else and is reminded of his past misdeeds.

I remember marking every victim
Nathan speaks of leaving his signature on his work.

With acute precision
Nathan prides himself on being very exact when mutilating his victims.

Every time I hold you
Nathan recalls his intimate moments with his tool of choice.

My blunt companion
He refers to his tool as a trusted partner.

When I remember
Nathan speaks of the memories that come with his violent acts.

I dismember
Nathan is not afraid to admit to his violence and actually revels in it.

‘Cause the claims medic uses no anesthetic
Nathan mentions that he doesn't use sedatives when he operates on his victims.

90 days delinquent gets you repo treatment
Nathan threatens consequences for those who have not paid off their debts in the allotted time period.

I'm the masked horror on your street corner
Nathan sees himself as a terrorizing figure who strikes fear into his victims.

Make your mama mourn ya
Nathan isn't picky about who suffers from his handiwork; even mothers will weep.

I'm the Night Surgeon!
Nathan proclaims himself as the titular character.
