Candy

It's a rainy afternoon
In 1990
The big city geez it's been 20 years-
Candy-you were so fine

Beautiful beautiful
Girl from the north
You burned my heart
With a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free

Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so

Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
Candy baby

Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
I'm glad you got out
But I miss you
I've had a hole in my heart
For so long
I've learned to fake it and
Just smile along

Down on the street
Those men are all the same
I need a love
Not games
Not games

Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
I know baby
Candy baby

Uou uou uou
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so

Candy candy candy
Life is crazy
Candy baby

Candy baby,
Candy, candy

Cry for Love

Status seekers - I never cared
Once I found out they never dared
To seize the world and shake it upside down
And every stinking bum should wear a crown

Sayin' I cry for love
Till all the plates are broken
Cry for love
Until my eyes are soakin'
Yeah cry for love
On every salmon mornig
Cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
Cry for love

Bad tv that insults me freely
Still I know what I'm dyin' to see
In searching for a meaningful embrace
Sometimes my self-respect took second place

An' I cried for love
I did what my heart told me
Cried for love
Can't stand it
When they scold me
Yeah I cried for love
On every salmon morning
Yeah I cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
Cry for love

Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
Soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
If you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
If you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
Cry for love

Easy Rider

In the alley where have I grown
Hot night sweats our clothes
My hell is crackin' fire
That's what you inspire
Cruel highway entrance signs
People driving to their lives
Looks like a giant stream
But it's just a dream

Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider

Broken people all around
Old guarantees that pull you down
You need a way out, you need a ride
Cause where you are is suicide

Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider

Oh I see the sacred dreams
And if I'm no _?_
I'll feel real _?_
Tearing out my hair
I see fertility
In pretty girls I meet
I love my friend
Give me hands _?_

Highway in the sun
We listen to the engines run
I wanna fine myself in you
You wanna find yourself, too

Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider

Hate

An evil look that tells me to fuck off
From the one who 'll never treat me soft
I start to boil and to concentrate
On images of anger and of hate
These are the ways I feed my hate
These are the lights that burn too late
These are the ways I feed my hate
These me the lights that burn too late

The mean stupidity of what he says
The millions who admire it and they spread
And all I wanta feel is just them dead
And have to eat the things they did and said
These are the ways I feed my hate
These are the lights that burn so late
These are the ways I feed my hate
These are the lights that burn too late
Hate
Why am I afraid?
Afraid

I Got A Right

Anytime i want i got a right to move
No matter what they say
Anytime i want i got a right to move
No matter what they say

I got a right, I got a right to move
Anytime I want, anytime
I got a right, I got a right to move
Anytime I want

Anytime I want I got a right to sing
No matter what they say
Anytime I want I got a right to sing
No matter what they say

I got a right, I got a right to sing
Anytime I want
I got a right, I got a right to sing
Anytime I want

Isolation

Needed you, you were only using
Needing you just tore me down
And here I stand in isolation
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar plain and sweet
Did your mother ever tell you
That the joyful are free

I need some lovin'
Like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin'
Like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands in isolation
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar cause it's my way

Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin'
Like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
Like a fastball needs control
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands in isolation
Strike up the band
In this proud land

Louie Louie

And now...the news:
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go

The Communist world is fallin' apart
The capitalists are just breakin' hearts
Money is the reason to be
It makes me just wanna sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go

A fine little girl is waitin' for me
But I'm as bent as Dostoevsky
I think about the meaning of my life again
And I have to sing Louie Louie again
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie oh baby
I gotta go
Let's give it to 'em right now
Oh man, I dunno like...health insurance &
The homeless & world peace
& AIDS & education...I'm tryin' to do right
But...hey
Life after Bush & Gorbachev
The wall is down but something is lost
Turn on the news it looks like a movie
It makes me wanna sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Let's go

Lust for Life

Moonlight Lady

who's gonna put out the light?
i love you and love is almost crazy
slippin' through the so and so's
over all the fields we go
moonlight lady

don't wanna tell you so long
don't wanna mess up your song
feelin' like i do i'm almost crazy
choosin' all the red blue jeans
watchin' people be so mean
moonlight lady

and i can hardly breathe
time goes by
and all alone
my poor heart grieves

i love you just 'cause i do
i didn't plan it with you
but now we're here we might as well
    accept it
we're together for all time
marching through the fields of
    dimes

The Passenger

I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backside
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight
Singin' la la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la la-la
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He see the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing...
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
Oh, let's ride and ride and ride and ride...
Singing...

Tonight

I saw my baby, she was turning blue
I knew that soon her young life was through
And so I got down on my knees down by her bed
And these are the words to her I said

Everything will be all right tonight
Everything will be all right tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight

Everyone will be all right tonight
Everyone will be all right tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks
Tonight, tonight

I am gonna love her to the end.
I am gonna love her to the end.
I will love her 'til I die
I will see her in the sky

Tonight, tonight...

Wild America

One night out in L.A.
I met a mexicana
With a butchy girlfriend
Who I thought was a man
They took me to the alley
To have a little chat
People lined the corners
Doin' this and that
In wild America

Now I'm in a black car
With my mexicana
She's got methedrine but
I want marijuana
I don't want to drive home
Not in my condition
So I ask my friend Matt
To handle the ignition
In wild America

Exterminate the brutes

(Live interview)

Rollins: Yeah
Iggy: Yeah
Rollins: Yeah
Iggy: Yeah
Iggy: Well I mean I like it here.
Iggy: Do you have anything
you'd like to say to America?
Rollins: I'd just like to say at this point
that I'm 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a
year American

I was glad that Debbie
Had a sense of humor
This time of the morning
I tend to get gloomy
She laughed and said "Iggy,
you have got a biggy!"
I had no reply

So I just closed my eyes
In wild America
Exterminate the brutes

They're goin' wild
Goin' wild
They're goin' wild
They're goin' wild baby
They got all kinds of fuckin' stuff
They got everything you could imagine
They're so god dammed spoiled
They're poisoned inside
They judge a man by what he's got
And they wanta have more and more
More power
More freedom
Taller kids
Longer lives
Everything
Bigger houses
Slaves
Woa
