1.I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms

Lyricist:Iggy, Richman Jonathan Michael

You know I never can relax
I'm always stiff and tense

I gotta to sleep in your arms
Wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

You know the world is cold and hard
I gotta to sleep in your arms
You gotta keep each other warm
I gotta to sleep in your arms

I gotta to sleep in your arms
Wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

You know I'm ok on my own
But I've been so long alone

I gotta to sleep in your arms
Wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

You know the world is cold and hard
I gotta to sleep in your arms
Let's dream walk hand in hand
I gotta to sleep in your arms

I gotta to sleep in your arms
Wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

I gotta to sleep in your arms
Wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax


2.She Cracked

Well, she was sensitive, she understood me
She understood the European things of 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
I can't care if she stays with another man

She cracked, I'm sad but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well, she cracked, I won't

She did things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

She cracked, I'm sad but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

Well, she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't

She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home

She cracked, I'm sad but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Alright

She cracked, I'm sad but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

One more time, one more time
She cracked, I'm sad but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right


3.Someone I Care About

Well, I don't want just a girl to fool around with
Well, I don't want just a girl to ball, alright
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all, nothing at all, alright

Well, I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't
And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled
All I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all, nothing at all

Well, I don't want some cocaine sniffing tramp in the bar
Well, I don't want a triumph in the car
I don't want to make a rich girl crawl
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want no one at all

Alright, listen to this now, picture this
I'm walking with my girlfriend
28 misguided souls combine say
'We're moving in'

There's a certain kind of girl
That you care about so much, you say
'I don't care what you guys do to me
But her, don't touch'

'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with
I don't want just a girl to ball
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all, oh, alright

Well, I don't want a girl to fool around with, no
I don't want just a girl to ball, no
What I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all, alright, gentlemen


4.Old World

Well, the old world may be dead
Our parents can't understand
But I still love my parents
And I still love the old world

Oh, I had a New York girlfriend
And she couldn't understand how I could
Still love my parents
And still love the old world
So I told her

I want to keep my place in the old world
Keep my place in the arcane
'Cause I still love my parents
And I still love the old world
Alright

I say old world
I say old world
I say

Well, I see a '50's apartment house
Bleak in the morning sun
But I still love the '50's
And I still love the old world

I wanna keep my place in the old world
Keep my place in the arcane
'Cause I still love my parents
And I still love the old world
Alright

I see the '50's apartment house
It's bleak in the 1970's sun
But I still love the '50's
And I still love the old world

I wanna keep my place in this old world
Keep my place in the arcane knowledge
And I still love the '50's
And I still love the old world

Alright now, we say bye, bye old world
Gotta help the new world
Oh bye, bye
I say bye, bye, bye, bye old world


5.Astral Plane

Tonight I'm all alone in my room
I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me
I'll still be with you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for dark at night
The astral plane or I'll go insane

Well, I don't see you and it's getting dark
Today we should have gone to a Central Park
Well, don't you want to see me ever again?
If not I'll meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Well, we've known each other from other lives
I want to see you today
But I'll prove my knowledge of what's inside
When I intercept you on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Alright

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
I'd have a lot to say
But you're not the one that I can say it to
At least not today
Oh, well I don't remember it afterwords

I don't yet know the words
But I know we've been together just this week
We've been together on the astral plane
The astral plane for late at night
The astral plane or I'd go insane

Well, tonight I'm all alone in my room
I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me
I'll still be with you
I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane
The astral plane for dark at night
The astral plane or I'll go insane
