Miss Argentina

Iggy Pop


Her skin is copper and her voice is Spanish red 
Her vibe is golden 'till her anger kills it dead 
She wants the world to see 
A body rich in harmony 
A mouth cruel as death 

She rides a fantasy she hasn't tested yet 
She looks in every mirror to check her silhouette 
The turning heads 
The honking horns 
Gave proof to her 
Since she was born 
That love is her game 

She loves me, Miss Argentina 
Though she hides behind her smile 
She runs free, Miss Argentina 
Dripping blood 
With lots of style 

She loves to stay in bed and watch the movies play 
She wants a husband who will worship and obey 
The moods that she enjoys like children's' games and
football toys 
She laughs without shame 

She likes the military and the Rolling Stones 
Her little brother has a T-shirt from Ramones 
She's shy and sensitive and doesn't know the tougher games 
But boy can she love 

She's easy, Miss Argentina 
A masterpiece without a frame 
She runs free, Miss Argentina 
But Venus is a dangerous game 

She saves my spirit with a humanistic light 
She's greedy, lazy and impossible to like 
She dresses sexually 
And she's afraid of many things 
Like being alone 

She's back with mother now 
She's over twenty-five 
I tried to keep her, but she buried me alive 
In love and birth and jealousy 
And every emotion totally freed 
Screaming at once

But she loves me, Miss Argentina 
While she hides behind her smile 
She runs free, Miss Argentina 
Dripping blood with lots of style 
She's lovely, Miss Argentina 
A masterpiece without a frame 
She's easy, Miss Argentina
