Vitreous Humor Lyrics - Singles - The County Medical Examiners

Between the deceased eyeball's crystalline lens and 

retina 

A clear gel-like mass that constitutes 80% of the eye 

This volume of lubricious fluid is named vitreous 

humor 

And can tell the toxicologist relatively when someone 

died... 

The unblinking eyes of the stinking corpse... 

Reveal time of death of the forensic sort... 

Vitreous humor so oily and viscous... 

Make the stiff a posthumous eyewitness... 

Hours after death, body potassium levels rise 

Vitreous humor is not affected by this change 

We can test the ocular fluid for an accurate PMI 

The toxicologist will compare it against the normal 

range... 

Hypodermics filled with watery slime... 

From eyeballs to test tubes, ocular grime... 

Toxicologists measure potassium levels... 

From the decedent's vitreous humor samples... 

...Disgusting muck... 

...Optic gunk... 

...Punctured orb... 

...Eyeball gore... 

Perspicaciously evaluating the toxicologists findings 

Illuminating the dead with a method so blinding 

Glomming the fluid from the posterior compartment side 

Determining PMI from the postmortem faculty of sight... 

...The sunken eyeball... 

...Has secrets to tell... 

...With its vitreous gel...
