Based on “I Don’t Want To Go On With You Like That” written by
Elton John and Bernie Taupin
I’ve always had this problem with my lungs For whatever reason they’re not tough enough There’s a thing that happens deep inside The last time it happened it was number five
When it happens I hear a low pitched thud And then I feel a sharp pain in my lung Then they have to find a chest tube that fits And it feels like my ribs have done the splits
It’s one more spontaneous Pneumothorax The second time my right lung has collapsed Now my chest feels like it’s been hit with an axe From one more spontaneous Pneumothorax
Why this happens I’ll never understand Now we have got to make it re-expand And all the physicians agree It’s not the last time that they’ll see me
It’s one more spontaneous Pneumothorax Another time my flipping lung’s collapsed Now my chest feels like it’s been hit with an axe From one more spontaneous Pneumothorax
Yes one more spontaneous Pneumothorax The nurses all tell me just to relax The depressing thing is I know I’ll be back For one more spontaneous Pneumothorax
The doctors tell me that everything will turn out fine But I’m starting to tire of the same old lines My long skinny torso is the major cause of my plight I’m sorry but it isn’t right
