LYRICS

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 boy whose reality I knew
Was a hopeless to be had, but then the...
Dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that...
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 him
So bad, oh, it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, but starving works
When it costs... too much to love

And I went crazy, again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for...
A little hope!
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his 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 on, put a little love here in my void!"
He said, "It's all in your head",
And I said, "So's everything!", but he didn't get it!
I thought he was a man, but he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts
And I want him...
So bad, oh, it kills! 'Cause
I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, but starving works
When it costs...
Too much to love! Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad!
Oh, it kills!
'Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are just too...
Shaky to hold! Hunger hurts, but starving works me
When it costs...

Too much to love! Hunger hurts!
But I want him so bad, oh it kills!
Because I know that I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are just too...
Shaky to hold! Hunger hurts, but starving...
It works
When it costs... too much to love! Mmm!
