Iron Man

Since the shrapnel destroyed my heart, body and soul

I’ve become a mechanical man

With a body made of almost all metals in the world

So now I’m to be known as an Iron Man

 

Since I am Iron Man then I guess my lead heart beats for you

And the mercury in my blood boils when I see you

My cooper neurotransmisors now tell me

That my old, still living soul, still wants you

 

And inside this iron armor there is a man

Willing for a girl, beautiful girl, like you

And in my titanium skull there’s a brain dreaming of you

And my golden arms have no value if they can’t hug you

 

So now my still loving soul needs you

My new heart loves you

And then I try to run after you with my iridium legs

But I fell, for they are the heaviest metal of all.
