Iron LungsRR

Twenty thousand faces and the ceiling's made of smoke They came to see the girl who sings like the engines when they choke The promoter said they'll eat you, said this town don't want your kind I just tapped the dead microphone and I left it all behind Don't need the wire Don't need the stage I got a furnace in my chest and it's been burning since I came I got iron lungs I got thunder on my tongue I don't need a speaker when the fire's in the song I got iron lungs Hear the rafters come undone Every note I ever swallowed now is coming out as one They built me out of whistles and the rust on Michigan They told me sing it softer and I never sang again The way they wanted, honey, the way they planned it out I took the quiet that they gave me and I turned it to a shout Don't need the wire Don't need the stage I got a furnace in my chest and it's been burning since I came I got iron lungs I got thunder on my tongue I don't need a speaker when the fire's in the song I got iron lungs Hear the rafters come undone Every note I ever swallowed now is coming out as one Hush now Hold your breath Let the whole hall lean in close I've been saving one for you The one they swore I couldn't throw Climb with me Climb with me Higher than the smoke can go Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I got iron lungs I got thunder on my tongue I don't need a speaker when the fire's in the song I got iron lungs Hear the rafters come undone Every note I ever swallowed now is coming out as one Iron lungs Still burning
