Lyrics

  • Hungry Like The Wolf

    [Verse 1]
    Dark in the city, night is a wire
    Steam in the subway, earth is afire
    Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
    Woman you want me, give me a sign
    And catch my breathing even closer behind
    Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

    [Chorus]
    In touch with the ground
    I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
    Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
    And I'm hungry like the wolf
    Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
    I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
    Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
    And I'm hungry like the wolf

    [Verse 2]
    Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
    I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
    Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
    High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
    You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
    Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

    [Chorus 2]
    In touch with the ground
    I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
    Scent and a sound
    I'm lost and I'm found
    And I'm hungry like the wolf
    Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
    I howl and I whine I'm after you
    Mouth is alive, all running inside
    And I'm hungry like the wolf

    [Bridge]
    Hungry like the wolf
    Hungry like the wolf
    Hungry like the wolf

    [Chorus 3]
    Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
    I'm on the hunt,I'm after you
    I smell like I sound
    I'm lost and I'm found
    And I'm hungry like the wolf
    Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
    I'm on the hunt I'm after you
    Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
    And I'm hungry like the wolf

  • So soon just after you've gone
    My senses sharpen
    But it always takes so damn long
    Before I see how much my eyes have darkened

    Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
    Drifting in our room
    So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
    With a careless memory with a careless memory

    On the table signs of love lies scattered
    And the walls break with a crashing within
    It's not as though you really mattered to me
    But being close
    How could I let you go
    Without some feeling
    Some precious sympathy following

    Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
    Drifting in our room
    So easy to disturb
    With a thought
    With a whisper
    With a careless memory with a careless memory
    With a careless memory with a careless memory

    I walk out into the sun to try to find a new day
    But the whole place just screams in my eyes
    Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you
    I think I'd die
    I think I'd laugh at you
    I know I'd cry
    What am I supposed to do. Follow you
    Outside the thoughts come flooding back now
    I just try to forget you
    So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
    With a careless memory with a careless memory
    With a careless memory look out
    Look out
    Look out
    Look out
