Hospital Lung

I am a transplanted heart,

Meant for the shadows of skyscrapers,

Morning coffee and newspapers.

I am a hospital lung,

Plugged into the wall,

Tricked into breathing by another man

Tracks buckle, rumble through my nerves,

I don't want to go, breaking underground

In the hospitals, in the hospitals, in the hospitals,

We're never gonna wire you in,

Release it and let it out.

In the hospitals, in the hospitals, in the hospitals,

We're never gonna wire you in,

Release it and let it out,

Of my hospital lung.

I am a violent tongue,

Cracked through a crowd of bar crawlers,

Stacked in the shadows of subway stalkers

I am a hospital lung,

Collapsed onto the floor,

Inflated into being by another man.

Tracks buckle, rumble through my nerves,

And our bodies break into pieces, underground

In the hospitals, in the hospitals, in the hospitals,

We're never gonna wire you in,

Release it and let it out.

In the hospitals, in the hospitals, in the hospitals,

We're never gonna wire you in,

Release it and let it out,

Of my hospital lung.

I'm not breathing in

I'm not breathing

I'm not breathing in

Hospital lung

I'm not breathing in

I'm not breathing

I'm not breathing in

I'm not breathing
