Lyrics of
Airbag

Airbag, primarily written by Thom Yorke, was inspired by a car accident Thom experienced. The song addresses themes of rebirth and gratitude for life after being saved by the airbag. It reflects Yorkes fascination with technologys impact on human life.

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep
of the innocent
I am born again
In a fast German car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe


In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

(w/ riff)
