About Me

"Im a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm. Im a runaway son of the nuclear a-bomb. I am the worlds forgotten boy. The one who searches and destroys...Honey gotta help me please. Somebody gotta save my soul. Baby detonate for me...Look out honey, cause Im using technology. Aint got time to make no apology. Soul radiation in the dead of night. Love in the middle of a fire fight...Honey gotta strike me blind. Somebody gotta save my soul. Baby penerate my mind...And Im the worlds forgotten boy. The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy. And honey Im the worlds forgotten boy. The one whos searchin, searchin to destroy."-Iggy Pop
