Lyrics Hospital Lung - The Answering Machine

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
