The Hunger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What's wrong with you may be right for me
Don't need to feel your sympathy, no
In the dark
I feel at home
I need the night to make my feelings known
Alright like lone wolf, can't you see
Living in false realities
Do you know just how I feel, can't explain it,
but its real
Lost in a world full of fear, it gives me passion
I'm just a lone wolf who's waiting
Waiting for life's attraction to give me
[1st CHORUS:]
The hunger...burning in my soul
With the hunger...everybody knows
It's the hunger to give me what I need
With the hunger...satisfaction guaranteed
Blackened sky on a full moon rise
Destiny, it calls to me
Some call it love, some call it more
I'll play that game if it gets me through the door
Alright like lone wolf, can't you see
Living in false realities
Do you know just how I feel, can't explain it,
but its real
Lost in a world full of fear, it gives me passion
I'm just a lone wolf who's waiting
Waiting for life's attraction to give me
[2nd CHORUS:]
The hunger...burning in my soul
With the hunger...everybody knows
It's the hunger to give me what I need
With the hunger..take a walk with me
[BRIDGE]
In the night I call your name
As we stop to play the game
It is it love or fantasy
Living false realities
[SOLO]
[1st CHORUS]
The Hunger [3X]
It's the hunger....
