Hunger - Lyrics by Gary Numan


Lyrics

Tell you a story
'bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies

No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
"you could be here forever"

"can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known"

"do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart"

He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
"i'm the disease and the cure

Skin mechanics
Couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely"

"trick it up
Trick it up good"

She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
"this is a re-al love story"

I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
"you could be here forever"
