Radiohead - My Iron Lung Album Lyrics

---

My Iron Lung

Faith
You're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it but it hurts like Hell
My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen from my life support
My iron lung

Were too young to fall asleep
Too cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
Our twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for our iron lung

The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon

Suck
Suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum
This
This is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung

The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon

If you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be
That's okay
But if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be
That's okay

The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon

The Trickster

Rust in the mountains
Rust in the brain
The air is sacred here
In spite of your claim

Up on the the rooftops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak

He's talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway

I wanted you so bad
That I couldn't say
These things fall apart

We wanted out so bad
That we couldn't say
All things fall apart

We're talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway

Truant kids
A can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from
Their chestnut tree

Long white gloves
Police check carefully
Escaped from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile is

Talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Lewis ( Mistreated )

Bummed out again by your only business friend
The smell of fear is thicker than you think
Don't do it
Don't jump

Changed shape to fit
In the end you just feel sick
A million love songs under anaesthetic
Hey don't do it
Don't jump

Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really mattered

We never noticed
We never understood
He just get crushed to fit
He never even smelt out the best
It's the best
It's the best day of your life

Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really mattered
No
I swear
I swear
I swear

Oh
Mistreated
A low corporate
Mistreated
A low corporate

I don't wanna to talk about it
I don't wanna to talk about it
I don't wanna to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis
I don't wanna to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis

Punchdrunk Lovesick Singa

I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, 'cause no-one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust

S ell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
I never cared before, I never cared before
I never cared before, before, before, before

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust

I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet was shot

Permanent Daylight

The easiest way to sleep at night
Is to carry on believing that I don't exist
The easiest way to sell your soul
is to carry on believing we don't exist
It must be hard
With your head on backwards

Lozenge Of Love

I am gone
Everybody's raging
And these fruits
They still taste of poison
I won't be around
When you really need me

I can't sleep
Why can't someone hold me
I need warmth
A restless body cracks some more
I won't have the strength
When you really need me

You Never Wash Up After Yourself

I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles
The worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed

I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plates
You never wash up after yourself

Creep (Acoustic)

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f*cking special
But I 'm a creep
I 'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f*cking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She run, run, run run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f*cking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
