"Excited Delirium" lyrics - STURGILL SIMPSON
Boy, I'm trying to talk to you
I can't breathe and I'm turning blue
What's the problem, what did I do?
I can not cooperate if you don't want me to
I hear you screaming telling me to get down
I hear you telling me not to resist
Hard to move with your knee on my neck
Hard to have a conversation with fourteen fists
[Chorus:]
Call it excited delirium
Call it whatever you need
Somebody help, somebody do something
Somebody call my mama 'cause I can't breathe
You got the wrong guy, got the wrong house
You knocking down the wrong door
You got a warrant to show me?
Never mind, my hands are up and I'm down on the floor
Why you dressed up like a soldier?
What the hell are you wearing a face mask for?
How the hell are you gonna protect the peace
Running 'round looking like you're going to war?
[Chorus:]
Call it excited delirium
Call it whatever you need
Somebody help, somebody do something
Somebody call my mama 'cause I can't breathe
