Artist: iggy pop
Song: instinct
Album: Instinct
Year: 1988
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
The instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
The instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadows
I have seen the sludgy beach
And the poisoned river
I have met the naughty 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 second red light story
Tricks and trials
Await the child
The instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
The instinct keeps me running
Running where the sun'll bless me
Instinct keeps me running
Running like a moose
The 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
The instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadows
Instinct keeps me running
Running like a bear
The 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
