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… 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…
