Iggy Pop - Death Is Certain lyrics

Death is the best

Better than all the rest

On the dutiful lies in the rock paradise

Losses and wear and the texture of age

Adds a truth to the heart

And a light to the face

It's good when you don't give as

Much of a fuck

As you did when the threats mount

To make you suck

A burst of rage

A lively cry

Emotions wide

Your death is certain for sure

My death is certain alright

But death is certain no cure

‘Cause death is certain

‘Cause death is certain so why ?

Gotta diiiiiiiiie

A bone and a skull

In a conjugal hell

A mall full of gall

And the music jerks off

Pale and fate

At the table they sat

With their necks choking tight

In their collars dead white

Liquor and food ‘till

They spin and explode

In a shower of crap

In America's lap

A pliceman's numb

A lazy bum

Emotions come

‘Cause death is certain it's sure

‘Cause death is certain it's pure

‘Cause death is certain no cure

‘Cause death is certain

‘Cause death is certain that's why

Gotta die

Alright

Alright

Well, alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

A beast with legs

A kid who's numb

A lazy bum

Your death is certain it's sure

‘Cause death is certain it's pure

‘Cause death is certain no cure

‘Cause death is certain
