Lyrics & Translation

[English]

they said non-small-cell with a history

of COPD guys pretty much a goner huh

sensitivity I like that in a stranger

are you new here visiting you can found

it by all the rain and it's only my

first day in town you get used to it

it makes me want to stay in bed all day

we're just met and already you're

talking about fit not very subtle

shadows never been my strong suit so do

you ever go out with coworkers I make it

a rule not to that I am so glad that I

don't work here are you hitting on me in

the hospital would that be wrong

Meredith it was mark

punching out people on my surgical floor

my head of Neurosurgery punching out

people on my surgical floor at the ice

paper my hand is fine put the damn ice

on your $2,000,000 your hand now would

someone tell me what the hell happened

that was Mark who's Mark he and Derek

used to work together back in New York

[Music]

and they were we were all close friends

until Derek found us in bed together you

put your weight behind it yes sir well

alright then what the hell is he doing

here no idea Derek and I always did have

the same taste in women excuse me

you're Derek's lusty intern right I've

heard about you all the way back in New

York you're famous well I heard about

you all the way here in Seattle so I

guess we have a lot in common

we're the dirty mistresses I suppose we

are

why $400 an hour shrink says it's

because behind this rugged and confident

exterior I'm self-destructive and

self-loathing to an almost pathological

degree hey we do have a lot in common

you know it's funny that Tarek walks in

on me naked with his wife actually in

the throws then he just turns around and

walks away but he sees me so much as

talking to you and I'm on the ground

bleeding interesting don't you think

what do you think you're doing you need

stitches I know all the mayor

[Music]
