Dirt Lyrics

Ooh, I been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I been dirt
And I don't care
'cause I'm burning inside
I'm just a yearning inside
And I'm the fire o' life

Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
'cause I'm burning inside
I'm just a dreaming this life
And do you feel it?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?
There's a fire
Well, it's a fire

It was just a burning
Yeah, alright
Ooh!
Burning inside
Burning
Just a dreaming
Just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
See Iggy Pop Live

Burning
Just a dreaming
Just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
