Black Lungs (And a Broken Heart)

You see the glimmer in my eyes How they shimmer like the stars I'm a fortunate, blue eyed son I was born and raised on Mars I come from a land with no envy A place without cars The only place that you'll find me is locked behind bars Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long You can tell from the glimmer in my eyes I'm the one and only Freedom Man I come from a place of no envy I do what I can The thirteen hour night Gave me such a fright So I jet on down here To set the record clear Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long (Freedom, man, it's here) This is a special news bulletin Humankind is reeling today After a flying saucer crash landed on Earth Thus confirming the existence of alien life (Freedom, man, it's here) Within the vicinity of the crash Witnesses reported experiencing mass euphoria And large groups gathered to listen to live music (Freedom, man, it's here) From the steaming wreckage emerged a man with the wings of a bird He didn't have time to say much As he passed out shortly due to the high oxygen content of our atmosphere (Freedom, man, it's here) All he had time to say was... "I came to speak the truth Freedom to the youth." Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Won't see me cry alone Black lungs and a broken heart Wait til it turns to stone Black lungs and a broken heart I won't be here for long Black lungs and a broken heart Set fire to the devil's eyes Black lungs and a broken heart To me it's no surprise Black lungs and a broken heart Burned a good one to fade away Black lungs and a broken heart Now I hurry to say what I say
