IGGY POP LYRICS - Mask

"Mask"



You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You look better that way



You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You look better that way



Are you my friend?

Are you my plumber?

Are you my God?

What do you do?



Wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

Which mask are you?

Which mask are you?



Complicated, crushed up, disappointed

Squirming, angry, thrusting, stabbing, regretting, starving

Greedy human alien being, struggling down the street

Up the alley, in the elevator, through the party

To the office, in the bedroom, on your way to the morgue



Bullshitting, lying, doing a good deed or feeling loved barely possible

Aware of insatiable demands of not a society all around you

Chunky frat boys in their shorts, pimps with old Semite eyes

Sex hoochies of the jungle, sensitive smart Alec college graduates



Critics fronting franticly in New York city, every body in L. A.

Just plain licking ass or having it licked

Irony in place of balls, balls in place of brains

Brains in place of soul, where is the soul?

Where is the love, where am I?



Which mask are you?

Which mask are you?

Which mask are you?



You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

You're wearing a mask

Which mask are you?
