Lydia's Black Lung Songtext / Lyric

I'm laid out

Like a martyr on a redwood plaque.

She's burning

the ticks right off my back.



I'm indulgent

I like to cater to peculiar whims

She's fascinated

by my artificial limbs



Asphyxiation

Love's monstrous charm

Asphyxiation

A slow suicide






My life's expended

for my last cigarette

Extreme unction

and pulmo-cardiac arrest.



Asphyxiation

Love's monstrous charm

Asphyxiation

A slow suicide



.and I smother myself.



In Lydia's Black Lung

Lydia's Iron Lung.

Lydia's Black Lung.

Lydia's Iron Lung.



In Lydia's Black Lung

Lydia's Iron Lung.

Lydia's Black Lung.

Lydia's Iron Lung.
