The Hunger Always Wins
Siftin' through sorrows
With a case of beer
Once in a while, a tentative smile
Flickers as her memory appears
He was out on a drinkin' spree
Wavin' his bottle like a trophy
When he saw her
She was like a cover girl
Slummin' undercover
His new muse to ease the blues, so he says
"I'm a chance you really should discover, yeah"
She took him on, she took him to AA
He said, "Let me love you drunk, babe
I'm too old to change"
Ain't nowhere to run when the bottle is empty
No salvation when your mind is clear
Ain't enough angels in the heavens to save you
When the hunger's here, oh, when the hunger's here
I can't fight these demons
When the walls start closing in
When the world's too small for reason
The hunger always wins
She looks at him for the last sad time
Says, "I'm no savior and I'm not blind
I've built my walls from bricks of self-defence
I'd tear them down in just one day
For a man who would love me
A man who could make me stay
And believe in somethin'"
Your promises are beautiful
But much too broken
Ain't nowhere to run when the bottle is empty
No salvation when your mind is clear
Ain't enough angels in the heavens to save you
When the hunger's here, oh, when the hunger's here
I can't fight these demons
When the walls start closing in
When the world's too small for reason
The hunger always wins
The hunger always wins
The hunger always wins
With a case of beer
Once in a while, a tentative smile
Flickers as her memory appears
He was out on a drinkin' spree
Wavin' his bottle like a trophy
When he saw her
She was like a cover girl
Slummin' undercover
His new muse to ease the blues, so he says
"I'm a chance you really should discover, yeah"
She took him on, she took him to AA
He said, "Let me love you drunk, babe
I'm too old to change"
Ain't nowhere to run when the bottle is empty
No salvation when your mind is clear
Ain't enough angels in the heavens to save you
When the hunger's here, oh, when the hunger's here
I can't fight these demons
When the walls start closing in
When the world's too small for reason
The hunger always wins
She looks at him for the last sad time
Says, "I'm no savior and I'm not blind
I've built my walls from bricks of self-defence
I'd tear them down in just one day
For a man who would love me
A man who could make me stay
And believe in somethin'"
Your promises are beautiful
But much too broken
Ain't nowhere to run when the bottle is empty
No salvation when your mind is clear
Ain't enough angels in the heavens to save you
When the hunger's here, oh, when the hunger's here
I can't fight these demons
When the walls start closing in
When the world's too small for reason
The hunger always wins
The hunger always wins
The hunger always wins
