Hunger (Live At Madison Square Garden)

At seventeen I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
But at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didn't have to call it loneliness

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

But tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me
Don't let them get you down, you're the best thing I've seen
We never found the answer, but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me
Oh, and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment

I thought that love was in the drugs
But the more I took, the more it took away
And I could never get enough
I thought that love was on the stage, give yourself to strangers
You don't have to be afraid
And then it tries to find a home
With people or when I'm alone
Picking it apart
And staring at your phone

We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger

But tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me
Don't let them get you down (New York, you're the best thing I've seen)
We never found the answer, but we knew one thing

We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger)

And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me
Oh, and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment

I forget to worry
