Avenue B lyrics
by Iggy Pop



Wrappers flying in the wind

Waitress up from Alabama

Can't believe the cold she's in

And me, I'm sitting in my castle

On the verge of a divorce



And if I haven't got a hassle

I'll create my own, of course

Still I gotta live with my feelings

But I know about science too

And fame and death and money

And what they do to you



And I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

Tonight on Avenue B



I bought about a hundred candles

I'm burnin' em both night and day

I'm sleepin' when I should be eatin'

Cryin' when I should be gay

My girlfriend's warm and loves me

She's knockin' but she can't get in

I'm a product of the paranoia

Of the age I'm in



And I am gonna need a miracle

I'm really gonna need a miracle

I'm really gonna need a miracle

Tonight on Avenue B



I see the students out my window

They're walking in their student clothes

Eatin' books and information

To make their understanding grow

But this much I understand

It's hard to be an empty man

But since I gave `em every part of me

I ain't free



And I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

Tonight on Avenue B



I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

I am gonna need a miracle

Tonight on Avenue B
