Facade Lyrics - Avenue B - Iggy Pop

A little girl trapped in her knowledge and craft 

Came tripping to my room last night 

I cooked her a steak and I tried not to fake 

And still make everything alright 

She had dreads in her hair and problems and cares 

She tried hard not to let 'em show 

She was decent and sweet and I was sizin' up the meat 

But doubts fell in my mind like snow 

And when the shove comes down to love 

The facade falls down 

And when the bricks fall from the tricks 

The facade falls down

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

It's a sunny afternoon and I'm sitting in my robe 

I'm dirty and I'm here alone 

There's a story on my table that talks about me 

And I want to stuff it down the author's throat 

And I'm sleeping with someone new every night 

And in the morning politely saying "bye" 

And I'm nowhere and no one 

And I only wanna run 

And I feel like a hamburger bun 

And when you must 

Believe or bust 

The facade falls down 

When you're scared of a brand new care 

The facade falls down 

I got no reason to believe 

I got no reason but I'm New York Scumbag Tough 

And I'll keep on truckin' 

Photos 

So night is falling 

And I'm getting' tired 

And it's time to get my slippers and books 

Got a sweater and glasses 

And something that passes 

For a way to get by in this world 

And I'm getting' tired 

Of so many different things 

I guess I'm just plain tired 

Or maybe too intelligent to believe 

In the obvious side of things 

And when voice says make a choice 

The facade falls down 

When your knees start to concede 

The facade falls down 

When the shove comes down to love 

The facade falls down 

And when the bricks fall from the tricks 

The facade falls down 

The facade falls down 

The facade falls down 

The facade falls down 

The facade falls down 

The facade falls down
