Hey, oh

I′m in jail

Body failedNow it's me and my iron lung (woo)

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Negative pressure, airless breath

Wrapped in iron, breathless purgatory

Positive pressure, airless death (woo)

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

Iron lung, iron lung

Iron lung, iron lung

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

Iron lung, iron lung

Iron lung, iron lung (woo)

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

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Frog breath, steam tent

Scared precarious

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Sedated death

Hey, oh

The ship sailed

Train derailed

Now it′s me and my iron lung

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Negative pressure, airless breath

Wrapped in iron, breathless purgatory

Positive pressure, airless death (woo)

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

Iron lung, iron lung

Iron lung, iron lung

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
