I have a private hell
Of excellent quality
I've dwelt there for years
Playing with my tears
It's tasteful, luxurious
And full of sexuality

And though there are tears
I control them with my gears
All in all, I must tell
You - well I must tell
You - i'm so proud of my private hell

Anger and greed brew
And then they stampede
Til i can transmute
Them into more loot

It's tasteful, luxurious
And full of sexuality
And though there are tears
I control them with my gears

All in all
I must tell you
Well I must tell you
I'm so proud of my private hell

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.
