Victim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then my face turns blue as I choke.
I throw my arms up as I kick back my chair,
And I gag and gasp as I breath for air.
I am just a choking victim!
I am just a choking victim!
My face the color of plum!
Things keep getting caught in my throat,
Then my face turns blue as I choke.
Dr. Heimlich often saves me from death,
His meneuver often saves me from death.
But this time he is nowhere to be found,
And I choke and I choke until I hit the ground.
Then I'm just a dead lazy bum...
I am just a choking victim.
Many times I choke on poison fumes or food,
It is a bad feeling, so I'm in a bad mood.
A chicken bone, agent orange, zkylon-be, mustard gas;
It only burns for a minute, then it knocks you out fast.
The oxygen halted, can't reach my brain anymore,
So then your sense is cut off and then you hit the floor.
Then I'm just a dead lazy bum,
I am just a choking victim!
