See a black Eldorado
Oh, rolling along down below my window
That black girl in the back looks pretty good
Christ! She's beautiful!
You know how soft she is
Just what it'd feel like
Oh, I'm so far away from her

Jesus, this is Iggy
You, you might as well come with me
When you ride the ride
There's talk and I don't wanna talk

Oh mama, I shot myself down
Oh mama, I shot myself down
Oh mama, I shot myself down
Oh mama, oh mama, I tell you, I shot myself down

They're stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
I don't know why
They're stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Damn, I don't know why

They're stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
Can't you see?
Oh no, stepping on our hearts

How come the blacks, how come they, they copy you so good?
They get off on you, so suchly
If you wanna make it
Young man you gotta make somebody come
Come out of your black
Come out of your black,
Black and strong
And Black, Black and strong
Black! Strong! Black!

Jesus it's cold in this room, it's really
You know I never told you about this, but there's one guy
Somebody I really love, he's never around
Well he was taking things that could be alright,
That could be nice
And making them so ugly, so damn ugly
And we put out the lights on them
Yeah, we'd make it dark, we put out the lights on them
It's idiots like you that screw me up
I know there's nothing to you
And I don't know why I treat you so kind
Come down and dance with me, dance with me
You got nobody left but me
Oh accept me, don't reject me, don't forget me

Mama, what colour will the lights be?
Will they turn blue on me?
Mama, what colour will the lights be?
Will they turn blue on me?
Mama, I shot myself up,
Whoa mama, I shot myself up, up, up,
Mama, I shot myself up, up, up, up, up, up
Mama, I shot myself up down up down mama
Oh oh oh oh oh mama
I didn't know what I was doing
I didn't mean to, mama
I shot myself ...
