Lydia's Black Lung Lyrics

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.
