Iggy Pop - Eat or Be Eaten lyrics

Pop/du prey

I got nothin to eat in this old house

I gotta go out and catch a mouse

I can't be wrong so I gotta be right

It's eat or be eaten

Something's hungry like a hunter

And it's probing like a fingerrr

As the drumbeat keeps things hurrying

That's the part that's so appealing

It's the beat that dominates

Each breath you draw

Each step you take

Strike or be stncken

Eat or be eaten yum yum yum yum

Eat or be eaten

Your skills are highly specialized

But still that giri can magnetize

You sense the hunger in her eyes

It's beat or be beaten

There's no softness in her eyes

A weird dull glint is in her eyes

With a stubborn will to tantalize

Like some cheap devil in disguise

And it's troubling me

Hell it's nervy that's what it is

Eat or be eaten

Beat or be beaten

Strike or be stricken

The night is dark the night is pulp

Tilt back your head and take a gul

Of air that's screamed a thousand times

The main thing is to victimize

It's just the night for a conquenng tribe

Ohit's just the night for a conquering tribe

Eat or be eaten

Beat or be beaten

Faster than the arrow flies

Or the man who smiles while he lies

It's just the night for a conquering tribe

And the girls are calling in a yellow dress

That girl is calling in a yellow dress

She says eat eat eat here boys

Eat eat eat here boys

And then a bop a doo ba doop ba abop

A dooba ba bop bohma bop a doo bop bohm

A doopee dee a dop adoop

A bum bayo bayum bohmbayumbohm ooooohh..
