Repo Man Lyrics

Iggy Pop Repo Man

Songwriters: Osterberg, Jr., James N.;

I was riding on a concrete slab
Down a river of useless land, it was
Such a beautiful day, I heard a witchdoctor
Say, "I'll turn you into a toadstool"

I'm looking for the dope with a microscope

My muscle's twitching on your words
If you're on the streets, you lose your nerves
Divinity throws you a curve sticks you
And then you go berserk, harboring no inspiration

I'm looking for the dope with a microscope

Page out of a comic book
A chicken hanging on a hook
A river and a babbling brook
A sermonette of teenage smut

Shaking my hand at your fake face
A suicidal certain look, a microphone
A loose guitar, people feeling near and far
Stupidity a mental scar

Oh cruelty, oh cruelty
As life goes by you in a blur
An alcoholic at the bar
Everything just goes to 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 run this gas and oasis

Now, I'm looking for the dope with a microscope

I was a teenage dinosaur, stoned
And obsolete, I didn't get f..cked
And I didn't get kissed, I got so f..cking
Pissed using my head for an ashtray

Now, I'll tell you who I am, I'm the Repo Man
And I'm looking for the dope, looking for the dope
I'm looking for the dope with a microscope
