Lyrics

A Lung

[Verse 1]

I am a crusader

I'm the darkest lady

I'm the taste on your tongue

I'm Darth Vader

I know what I'm made of

'Cause I was warmed by the sun

The sun

[Chorus 1]

You're looking for me

But it's not what you seek

'Cause I've got a twisted personality

[Verse 2]

You are a crusader

You're the darkest lady

I like the taste of your tongue

You were Darth Vader

I know what you're made of

And you were warmed by the sun

By the sun, by the sun, the sun

[Chorus 2]

I'm looking for you

And I'm glad I found me

A special kind of personality

[Verse 3]

When the spark goes out of you

It grows ten times bigger in me

I am your lung

I'm Darth Vader

I know what I'm made of

'Cause I was warmed by the sun

By the sun, the sun, the sun

[Chorus 3]

I was looking for you

And I'm glad I found me

A special kind of personality

[Verse 4]

Yes you were the crusader

You are the lady

I want to taste your tongue

You were Darth Vader

I know what you're made of

You are like a lung

A lung, a lung, a lung

[Chorus 4]

And you were warmed by the sun

You're looking for me

By the sun

But it's not what you seek

By the sun

I've got a twisted personality

A special kind of personality

The sun
