Iggy Pop - Facade lyrics

Album: Avenue B (1999)

A little girl trapped in her knowledge & craft
Came tripping to my room last night
I cooked her a steak & I tried not to fake
And still make everything alright
She had dreads in her hair & problems & cares
She tried hard not to let em show
She was decent & sweet & I was sizin´ up the meat
But doubts fell in my mind like snow
And when the shove comes down to love
The facade falls down
And when the bricks fall from the tricks
The facade falls down

It is a sunny afternoon & I am sitting in my robe
I am dirty & I am here alone
Theres a story on my table that talks about me
And I wanna stuff it down the author´s throat
And I am sleeping with someone new every night
And in the morning politely saying "bye"

And I am nowhere & no one
And I only want to run
And I feel like a hamburger bun
And when you must
Believe or bust
The facade falls down
When you are scared of a brand new care
The facade falls down
I got no reason to believe
I got no reason but I am New York Scumbag Tough
And I will keep on truckin´

So night is falling
And I am getting´ tired
And it is time to get my slippers & books
Got a sweater & glasses
And smth that passes
For a way to get by in this world
And I am getting´ tired
Of so many different things
I guess I am just plain tired
Or maybe too intelligent to believe
In the obvious side of things
And when voice says make a choice
The facade falls down
When your knees start to concede
The facade falls down
When the shove comes down to love
The facade falls down
And when the bricks fall from the tricks
The facade falls down

The facade falls down
The facade falls down
The facade falls down
The facade falls down
The facade falls down
