I heard about the bypass operation back in '62.
Dreaming that one day I would be doing it too.
But I was too young and naive to realize it wasn't going to be true.
Oh-a-oh
They took the credit for your surgery.
Redone by catheters and their new technology.
And now I understand the problems you didn't see.
Oh-a-oh
But you can still operate on the children.
Oh-a-oh
What should I tell you?
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Angioplasty came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a-oh
And now we meet in an abandoned OR studio.
Debakey, Cooley, Lillehei seem so long ago.
And you remember how the triple bypass used to go.
Oh-a-oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a-oh
Soon you'll be the the last one.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
In my mind and in my scrubs,
We can't rewind, cardiology's gone too far.
Oh-a-ah-oh
Oh-a-ah-oh
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Angioplasty came and broke your heart.
Put the blame on that Werner Forssman guy.
You were a cardiothoracic star.
You were a cardiothoracic star.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star.
Cardiology killed the cardiothoracic star...
