King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Iron Lung (Live at Red Rocks ’22)
Yeah, how's everyone feeling?
Warmed up?
Keepin' them tushes nice and toasty
Let's keep them limbs toasty
I want some buns, i want some buns
I want some buns in my hands
He wants some hot [?]
He really wants some hot [?]

[Verse 1]
Hey, oh
I'm in jail
Body failed
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 breath
Woo! Ambrose

[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
Yeah, I'm 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
Okay, let's go

[Instrumental]

Alright, let's do some [?]
[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
Woo!

[Bridge 2]
Ow
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis!
Frog breath, steam tent
Scared precarious!
Frog breath, steam tent
Neck paralysis!
Sedated me!
Oh
[Instrumental]

[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 breath
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
Yeah, 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

Ayo
What's up next, brother?
Ooh
Thank you so much
Thank you, hope you're having a good time
Obviously, 6 hour-, I don't know if you came last night as well
But 6 hours of fuckin' music in two days is a long time
So we appreciate everyone who came both nights
And maybe a few are coming on the third night
That's nine now, nine hours of music which is crazy
We still got some good shit up our sleeves
So no fuckin' worries, we not gonna be crap
Yeah
