Iggy Pop - Stray Dog lyrics

[Spoken by Iggy Pop:] The secret of our happiness is unconditional love I just wanted to make her smile And make it last for a while Do all the things you can do at home Maybe once in a while get away somewhere special Create a memory that would last forever In those days we spent together They say the secret of our happiness is unconditional love And brotherhood and trying to be good and trying not to drink But I can't stop drinking, it's in my blood In and out of trouble, while keeping yourself alive Not giving cold down in the wastes of the grim and mire In the dark and the sun of the mire Not getting wasted, not being a cheat, a k**er or a liar Not getting pulled down in the wastes of the mire In the darkness of the mire, in the darkness of the mire I'd rather be a lover than a liar I'd rather be a lover than a supplier If the secret of happiness is unconditional love Why don't you miss me? Well, sometimes I do, like when you're away And I feel a need for you I feel it like the day we met all those years ago Those times were hard to hold on to But nothing stays the same We are forever moving, like the dancing of the flame Life is so unstable, always changing, it never stays the same Like the atom and that bomb that causes so much pain So I came in from the cold with nowhere left to go And I gave away my freedom and the calling of the wild So that I could be with you, I chose to be with you So I came in from the cold and I chose to be with you I chose To be (growls) With you (Growls, hisses, snarls) Chose to be with you
