[Verse 1]
Hey, oh
I'm in jail
Body failed
Now it's me and my iron lung
Woo!
[Refrain 1]
Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Negative pressure, airless breath
Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Positive pressure, airless death
Trueno 'LO TENGO' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
[Refrain 2]
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 2]
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 3]
Hey, oh
The ship sailed
Train derailed
Now it's me and my iron lung
[Refrain 1]
Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Negative pressure, airless breath
Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory
Positive pressure, airless death
Woo!
[Refrain 2]
It's a different kind of cuttlefish, swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips, can't move my hips
Gotta keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
I'm staying sane and positive, can't crumble like a biscuit
[Chorus]
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
Iron lung
[Verse 4]
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
