1. My Iron Lung
Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell
My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung
We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum
This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
2. The Trickster
Rust in the mountains
Rust in the brain
The air is sacred here
In spite of your claim
Up on the the rooftops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak
He's talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
I wanted you so bad
That I couldn't say
These things fall apart
We wanted out so bad
That we couldn't say
All things fall apart
We're talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Truant kids
A can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from
Their chestnut tree
Long white gloves
Police check carefully
Escaped from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile is
Talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
4. Punchdrunk Lovesick Singa
I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, 'cause no-one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
I never cared before, I never cared before
I never cared before, before, before, before
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet was shot
