I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on or wish on
Or something like that.
I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a girl
Who's reality I knew
Was a hopeless to be had.
And then a dove hope
Began it's downward slope
And I began to believe my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed.
But as it came down near,
So did a weary tear.
I thought it was a bird
But it was just a paper bag.
Hunger hurts, and I want her
So bad, oh it kills
'Cos I know I'm a mess
That she don't wanna clean up.
I've got to fold because these hands
Are just too shakey to hold.
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it cooooosts too much to love.
And I went crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb,
Looking for
A little hope.
Baby said she couldn't stay
Wouldn't put her lips to mine
And a fail to kiss
Is a fail to cope.
I said "Honey, I don't feel so good
Don't feel justified.
Come and put a little love
Here in my void."
She said "It's all in you head."
I said "So is everything." But she didn't get it
I thought she was aware
But she was just a little girl.
Hunger hurts, and I want her
So bad, oh it kills
'Cos I know I'm a mess
That she don't wanna clean up
I've got to fold because these hands
Are just too shakey to hold.
Hunger hurts, but starving works
When it cooooosts too much to love
Hunger hurts, and I want her
So bad, oh it kills
Because I know that I'm a mess
That she don't want to clean up!
I've got to fold because these hands
Are just too- shakey to hold!
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it cooooosts too- much- to- love.
