Theme Lyrics
Diamonds in the firmament All reserves completely spent Someone set up the oxygen tent Everybody here's real proud to present Choked out

Two hundred dollar take-all purse Half-nelson to suplex reverse Worried look on the face of the ringside nurse At one, for once, with the universe Choked out Choked out, choked out, choked out

I stretch and strain with all my might Drift off into the velvety arms of the night Kick and claw and scratch and bite Fire up the grill, everybody eats tonight Choked out

No brakes down An endless dark incline Most of the boys Won't ever cross this line If they all want to die dead broke that's fine, that's fine Everybody's got their limits Nobody's found mine

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase All the colors of the rainbow flood my face I lift right off into space I can see the future, it's a real dark place Choked out, choked out, choked out Choked out, choked out, choked out
