Iggy Pop — Repo Man

I was riding on a concrete slab Down the river of useless flab It was such a beautiful day I heard a witch doctor say I'll turn you into a toadstool I'm looking for the joke with a microscope A muscle twitch, an auto, it swerves You want to speak, you lose your nerve Infinity throws you a curve Dumps you in shit you don't deserve As life roars by you in a blur Leaves you murmuring a dirty word A page out of a comic book A chicken hanging on a hook A reverie, a babbling brook A sermonette, a TV cook Shaking my hand at your fake head A suicide, a certain look A microphone, a blues guitar Piques a feeling near and far Stupidity, a mental scar Cruel cruelty, oh cruelty Harboring no inspiration An alcoholic at the bar Every insult goes too far I was pissing on the desert sands When the desert whispered to me It said, isn't this a shame? Things will never be the same I've learned this gets me so edgy Now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope I was a teenage dinosaur Stoned and obsolete I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed I got so fucking pissed Using my head for an ashtray Now I'll tell you who I am I'm a repo man And I'm looking for the joke Yeah I'm looking for the joke I'm looking for the joke Looking for the joke Looking for the joke Looking for the joke with a microscope I'm a repo repo repo man Repo repo repo man...
