Raw Power (Iggy Pop Mix) Lyrics

Dance to the beat
Of the living dead
Lose sleep baby
And stay away from bed
Raw power is sure to come
a runnin' to you

If you're alone
And you got the shakes
So am I baby
And I got what it takes
Raw power will surely come
Running to you

Raw power got a healin' hand
Raw power can destroy a man
Raw power is more than soul
It's got a son called rock and roll
Raw power honey just won't quit
Raw power I can feel it
Raw power baby can't be beat
Poppin' eyes and flashin' feet

Everybody's always tryin to tell me
What to do
Don't you try
Don 't you try to tell me what to do

Look in the eye
Of the savage girl
Fall deep in love
In the underworld
Raw power is sure to come
Runnin' to you

If you're alone
And you got the fear
So am I baby
Let's move on out of here
Raw power is sure to come
A runnin' to you

Raw power got a magic touch
Raw power is much too much
Happiness is guaranteed
It was made for you and me
Raw power honey just won't quit
Raw power I can feel it
Raw power honey can't be beat
Get down and kiss my feet

Raw power's got no place to go
Raw power honey it don't want to know
Raw power is a guaranteed OD
Raw power is laughin' at you and me
And this is what I want to know
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Raw power
Can you feel it?

The Stooges are a rock n roll band which formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1967. They released three studio albums before breaking up in 1974. Despite having little, if no chart or radio success, the band has proved to be one of the most influential [ta]rock groups of the past 40 years. The band reunited in 2003 and released another record in 2007. Their best known lineup consisted of Iggy Pop (vocals), Ron Asheton (guitar), Dave Alexander (bass) and Scott Asheton (drums).

Singer Iggy Pop and his wild onstage antics were often the focus of attention. The band sold very few records in their original incarnation and often performed to indifferent or hostile audiences. Nevertheless, the Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential both on then-nascent heavy metal and later on punk rock.

As has been said about The Velvet Underground, the handful of people who did actually buy the Stooges' early records at the time ended up forming bands of their own. Velvet Underground member John Cale produced the original incarnation of their self-titled album).

The Stooges drew their sound from a variety of influences: The Who, James Brown, Bitches Brew, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Booker T and the MGs, The Troggs, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The MC5.

In 2003, Iggy, Scott, and Ron reformed The Stooges with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt filling in. The current lineup has played festivals around the world since, and in 2006 recorded a new album with Steve Albini.

Founding member and guitarist Ron Asheton was found dead at his home in Ann Arbor, MI on January 6, 2009. Iggy Pop posted a message on his website stating "I am in shock. He was my best friend."

Sony Music is preparing to release a remastered version the classic album Raw Power in April 2010.
