Iggy Pop Instinct Lyrics

Instinct Lyrics

Standing on the borderline 
Between joy and reason 
Tending carefully my fire 
Waiting for my season 
I know who these people are 
I know what they stand for 
Corruption's built into this plan 
Nothing's under the other hand 
 
Tricks and trials await the child 
 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running like a deer 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running through the grinning shadows 
 
I have seen the sludgy beach 
And the poisoned river 
I have met the lordly rich 
They're just getting stiffer 
This whole place is like a maze 
Or like some Medusa 
Let me out I can't accept 
A certain read life story 
 
Tricks and trials await the child 
 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running like a deer 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running where the sorrow bless me 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running like a moose 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running to keep one chance open 
 
Marks on walls, the common outlet 
Tell the truth and always will 
Marks on wall destroy the thought 
Of perfect sunny civilization 
 
Tricks and trials await the child 
 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running like a deer 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running through the grinning shadows 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running like a bear 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running to keep one chance open 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running cause I don't believe it 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running through the bare emotion 
Instinct keeps me running 
Instinct keeps me running 
Running 
I'm running, running, running, running
