The German Affair

I'm trapped inside of this hotel

With fellow soldiers out of hell

And they forced our hands

Our hands are dirty now

I found a way around the rules

For company that we could choose

But they forced our hands

We wait like wolves and we strike

We pay for just what we like

Until this hunger ends

But now I'm back from the war

And I'll give you so much more

Until this hunger ends

I am patiently pacing the room

Only god knows what I'm gonna

Do to you

I feel my blood is rushing through

Oh you take what you need and

I'll take care of you

We wait like wolves and we strike

We pay for just what we like

Until this hunger ends

But now I'm back from the war

And I'll give you so much more

Until this hunger ends

I'm not a lonely man, your normal transaction

I can do this myself, I'm just here for the reaction

So we're both cold, but how you move to my touch

Feels like you might be really getting off no, that's a bit much

This is love by the hour I know you don't care

But it's been a little while so we'll have some despair

My shrink won't let me run my hands through her hair

So pretend that you're listening I've been dying to share

To be at my best, I've gotta feel the worst

And I know that's not what they call healthy

Words won't come out, talent don't compel

And I can't see the cards they dealt me

Speaking of animals, there's no better way

To make me howl at the moon than you pretending to pray

And with a name that sounds like love in her tongue

I'm a dead man smiling on my way to be hung

(Dead man smiling on his way to be hung)

We wait like wolves and we strike

We pay for just what we like

Until this hunger ends

But now I'm back from the war

And I'll give you so much more

Until this hunger ends

What I meant to say

Is that i had you left to right

And you know

Until it ends

We wait like wolves and we strike

We pay for just what we like
