Lyrics
Working Up An Appetite
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.
The righteous rhythm in your soul, moves like an unborn baby
You've got to let it take control, without ever thinking twice
Start building up your greed for good and hunger for understanding
Unless you want it desperately, how can it be
I wish that it was nearer, and clearer today
Working up an appetite, for some wisdom
Working up an appetite, for the real thing
Working up an appetite, appetite
Our passion is a careless flame, we fan it with abandon
But everywhere confusion reigns, we've already paid the price
Remember when you saw the light, in everything around you
A pleasure to be on this earth, when we thirst for gain
I wish that it was nearer, and clearer today
Working up an appetite, for some love now
Working up an appetite, always learning
Working up an appetite, lust for justice
Working up an appetite, appetite
Working up an appetite, for some wisdom
Working up an appetite, for some love now
Working up an appetite, always learning
Working up an appetite, working, working...
[repeat etc. til fade]
