*Repo Man* by Iggy Pop

I was riding on a concrete slab,
Down a river of useless flab.
It was such a beautiful day.
I heard a witchdoctor say,
"I'll turn you into a toadstool"

I'm looking for the joke 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 beserk.
Abhoaring no inspiration.

I'm looking for the joke with a microscope.

Page out of a comic book.
A chicken hanging on a hook.
A river and a babbling brook.
A sermon and a teenage hook.
Shaking my hand at your fake face.
A suicide a certain look.

A microphone a loose guitar.
People feeling near and far.
Stupidity a mental scar.
Put cruel into cruelty.
As life goes by you in a blurr.

An achoholic has gone far.
Everything just goes to far.

I was pissing on the desert sands,
When the desert whispered to me,
"Damn! Isn't this a shame?
 Things will never be the same..."
I run this gas and oasis.

Now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope.

I was a teenage dinosaur; Stoned and Obsolete.
I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed.
I got so fucking dense.
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 joke.
Looking for the joke.
I'm Looking for the joke with a microscope.................
