King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Iron Lung

[Verse 1]
Hey, oh
I'm in jail
Body failed
Now it's me and my iron lung

[Verse 2]
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Negative pressure
Airless breath
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Positive pressure
Airless death

[Verse 3]
It's a 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
Staying sane and positive
Can't crumble like a biscuit

[Chorus]
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung

[Verse 4]
Space shuttle
Snail shell
Merry-go-round
Conveyor belt
The army tank ventilator
Mechanical bull respirator
Metallic cocoon boredom
Bionic boy
Pump my organs
Centre gravity
Planet me
Gimme the mushrooms
Time to leave

[Chorus]
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung

[Instrumental]

[Bridge 1]
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 in uphill battle
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Congestion in my chest

[Bridge 2]
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Frog breath, steam tent
Scared precarious
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis
Sedated me

[Verse 5]
Hey, oh
The ship sailed
Train derailed
Now it's me and my iron lung

[Verse 6]
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Negative pressure
Airless breath
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Positive pressure
Airless death

[Verse 7]
It's a 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
Staying sane and positive
Can't crumble like a biscuit

[Chorus]
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung

[Verse 8]
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

[Chorus]
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
