[Verse 1]
I need to touch
A live unbeaten earth
So that's where I'm going
I know a town in North West Mexico
Where the sun is gold and life exists

[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly

[Verse 2]
My country got
Raped by big industry
We'll just have to wing it
The concrete strips raw greed and king TV
They say 'so what' I say 'so this'

[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly

[Verse 3]
I can hear children voices
Playing in a yard
When I hear children voices
My feelings aren't so hard
Your honest face
Your quiet simple grace
You are one thing
I will not waste

[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly

After his previous band, The Stooges collapsed, Iggy Pop (the stage name of James Newell Osterberg, Jr.) initially struggled to establish a solo career. Working with David Bowie in Berlin helped him produce The Idiot and Lust For Life, essential albums which made him a household name.
