Laurie Anderson - Stiff Neck lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - Stiff Neck lyrics]
A while ago, i had this stiff neck i
Couldn’t get it out of
This one position so I went to a doctor and
He said: "I’m afraid this is no stiff neck i
Think we’re going to have
To operate right away"
I couldn’t believe it so I
Went to a few specialists
And they all said the same
Thing: "We’ll have to
Operate immediately" so I finally decided
To have the operation and
Right before, the doctor asks:
"Oh, by the way
What kind of insurance do you
Have?" and I said:
"I don’t have any insurance"
And he said: "Y’know
Maybe we can wait on this" by this time I was
Sure I need to have the operation so I
Went to one last guy and the first thing I
Said when I walked into his office was:
"Look i have no money and
No insurance" and he said:
"Show me where it hurts" and I said: "Well
It kinda starts in my neck here
And in goes into this shoulder and them it
Crumples up this elbow and kinda
Runs down my arm
And crumples up the fingers in this hand and
It kind it goes to my other
Arm too" and he said: "Exactly what is
It that you do for a living?"
Couldn’t get it out of
This one position so I went to a doctor and
He said: "I’m afraid this is no stiff neck i
Think we’re going to have
To operate right away"
I couldn’t believe it so I
Went to a few specialists
And they all said the same
Thing: "We’ll have to
Operate immediately" so I finally decided
To have the operation and
Right before, the doctor asks:
"Oh, by the way
What kind of insurance do you
Have?" and I said:
"I don’t have any insurance"
And he said: "Y’know
Maybe we can wait on this" by this time I was
Sure I need to have the operation so I
Went to one last guy and the first thing I
Said when I walked into his office was:
"Look i have no money and
No insurance" and he said:
"Show me where it hurts" and I said: "Well
It kinda starts in my neck here
And in goes into this shoulder and them it
Crumples up this elbow and kinda
Runs down my arm
And crumples up the fingers in this hand and
It kind it goes to my other
Arm too" and he said: "Exactly what is
