The Best Kind Of Hunger

Cause you might have guessed

I've been some horrible places

And i've known a few girls with love on their faces

And heat on their tongues

They bite like a serpent

And leave a hole in my body when their teeth break the surface

Yeah

But you've got this power to make me forget

So much better than trying

Or drinking myself to death

With a heart like a lion that's been shot through the chest

At close range by a hunter who wanted his skin

But discovered up-close he was covered with mange

So he left him their dead

But the vultures remained

And we'd be watching the sunrise

Bigger than the cliché

Now you're twirling your ribbons in these delicate ways

That i've never seen

And i'm under your covers

And i'm breathing your air

This is the best kind of hunger

But you've got this power to make me forget

So much better than trying

Or drinking myself to death

With a heart like a lion that's been shot through the chest

At close range by a hunter who wanted his skin

But discovered up-close he was covered with mange

So he left him their dead

But the vultures remained
