Iron Lung (Live)

Hey, oh
I'm in jail
Body's failed
Now it's me and my iron lung

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Positive pressure, airless breath
Oh, wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Negative pressure, airless death

Different kind of cuttlefish
Swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Can't move my hips
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Yeah, I'm staying sane and positive
Can't crumble like a biscuit

Iron lung, iron lung
Iron lung, iron lung
(Hey)

Space shuttle, snail shell
Merry go round, conveyor belt
The army tank ventilator (ventilator)
Mechanical bull respirator
Metallic cocoon boredom
Bionic boy, pump my organs
Centre gravity, planet me
Gimme the mushrooms, time to leave

Iron lung, iron lung
Iron lung, iron lung

(Yeah, Newport, baby!)
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Frog breath, steam tent
Scared precarious
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Congestion in my chest

Pins and needles
Like a voodoo evil
Got my doctor baffled
Every breath is an uphill battle
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Congestion in my chest
(Yeah)
(Woo)

Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Frog breath, steam tent
Scared precarious
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Oh, sedated death

People-vultures
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures (god approaches)
People-vultures, god approaches
Final hearing
(Hey, lets go again!)

Oh
The ship sailed
Train derailed
Now it's me and my iron lung (woo)

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Negative pressure, airless breath
Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Positive pressure, airless death
(Cuttlefish man)

Different kind of cuttlefish
And a swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips
I can't move my hips
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Yeah, I'm staying sane and positive
Can't crumble like a biscuit

Iron lung, iron lung
Iron lung, iron lung (woo)

Cylindrical prison, newly arisen
Chained to a giant paper weight
Pain abates
Yet darkness permeates
Wallows my toes, burdens my chest
My brain is pressed with an iron chest

Iron lung, iron lung
Iron lung, iron lung
