Vital Signs Lyrics - Sage Francis

Motherfuckers 

Peace 

Shut the fuck up 

And I don't know their looking dead tonight (x3) 

Ain't looking like they got the strength to fight 

Switch up your pulse patterns 

What's the RPM of your breath 

Kickstart your heart with a punch 

Beating your chest 

Squeezing your head till I pop vessels in your eye sockets 

We talk your ears off till your blood pressure sky rockets 

If ? check for lumps in your throat 

Before you burn a bridge jump in a moat 

Depending on whether you float or sink 

Know how to swim or can't 

You know what to think before you provoke some shit 

Between concentration camp counselors 

Giving first aid training 

Mouth to mouth recessitate 

Lady faint 

When I see her face fading 

I make her suck wind 

Bring her vibrant colors back 

See if she has any contacts 

And find out where her mothers at 

Said she had my number 

But nothing other than that 

When she said my number's up I laughed 

The EMS came running back 

Doing suicides the relay race of time 

And space between me and destiny 

But I leave no trace to find 

She leaves nowhere to hide 

I leave no hide to wear 

Skin myselffeed my bones 

Dress up in some tribal gear 

Mummified every time I lived in the now 

If you don't want to die 

Then come alive and don't give your number out 

Count down till the end of my show 

Shout loud if you ain't ready to go 

The out crowd might never know 

Why I'm trying to find vital signs 

And I don't know their looking dead tonight (x3) 

Ain't looking like they got the strength to fight 

Through the rest of the night 

Their looking dead tonight (x3) 

Ain't looking like they got the strength to fight
