Hunger
www.KING-MP3.com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

It’s the hunger
That eats through your veins
Makes your blood boil
Though it eases the pain
My body decays
My heart still remains
Close to you
Close to you

Don’t try to break the silence
'Cause our wires have crossed before
Girl you hoaxed me with false desire
Compelled me to beg for more

I can’t have it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you
I just want it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you girl

The way it grips me
It’s hard to explain
When my darling
You’re so far away
On the edge that I stay
It’s easy to pray
When I’m on my knees
On my knees

Don’t try to break the silence
'Cause our wires have crossed before
Girl you hoaxed me with false desires
Compelled me to beg for more

I can’t have it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you
I just want it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you girl

It’s the hunger
That eats through your veins
Makes your blood boil
Though it eases the pain
My body decays
My heart still remains
Close to you
Close to you

I can’t have it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you
I just want it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you girl

I can’t have it all
But I need you
Yeah I need you
I just want it all




But I need you
Yeah I need you girl

When I see what I want
I'm gonna take it
If it's against some law
You can bet I'm gonna break it
My need to feed
Gives me the will to survive
I gotta find it fast
To keep me alive
I can't believe my...

[Chorus:]
Hunger - I want it so bad
I can taste it
It drives me mad
To see it wasted
When I need it so bad that it's burnin' me
I'm hungry

I'd do anything to get it
And feel no regret
But time is running out
I ain't found it yet
I can't believe my...

[Chorus]
[Solo]

It's burnin' me
It's burnin' me
It's burnin' me
It's burnin', it's burnin' me, burnin' me

I saw these guys at the Hollywood Palladium during the summer of 85. Queensryche was the headliner, but these guys put on a great show. One can be skeptical about how a band sounds live, and these guys were the real deal. Great stuff!

marciefree

Right on dude! That was a hard show to pull off. Queensryche has a tough audience to please.

REANIMATOR DE ACERO

El coro de esta canción es increíble..

Luisin Pato

La neta ! Es mítico !

King Kobra "Ready to Strike" is one of the best rock albums ever! From start to end. So much talent.

Cody_Sorensen

@Mister Tee - My thoughts exactly Misses Esterhouse.

Mister Tee

No, it was a horrible record. The only song anyone remembers is this one and King Kobra didn’t even write it. I think the singer transitioning is the main reason this band still gets mentioned.

Polish Texan Guy

You need to listen to more rock albums dickface.

Andi Freisinger
