Fmaj7 Am
Hey, oh
Fmaj7 Am
I’m in jail
Fmaj7 Am
Body failed
Fmaj7 Am
Now it’s me and my iron lung

[Verse 2]

Wrapped in iron

Deathless purgatory

Negative pressure

Airless breath

Wrapped in iron

Deathless purgatory

Positive pressure

Airless death

[Verse 3]
Fmaj7
It’s a different kind of cuttlefish
Am
Swing and a miss
Fmaj7
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Am
Can’t move my hips
Fmaj7 Am
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Fmaj7
Staying sane and positive
Am
Can’t crumble like a biscuit

[Chorus]

Planet me

Gimme the mushrooms

Time to leave
