Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. Sept. 7, 2013]
Diamond-hard heartthrob fakes displeasure
As his duty finish rests around his needs
God, his face is like a sunken treasure
Being dragged up from the violent seas
And it's one for the woman that's never been had
Two for the women that were always unclad
Three for the wind knocking at the door
Four someone you know who we are looking for
Overwhelming hunger descending on me
Stretches from the cradle to the factory
A minute without you is just too long
A lifetime beside you and it's gone like this song
They bring down the angels from the troubled sky
Put them in a cage to make baby cry
Madison Avenue choked by the dust
Don't wanna be there but I know I must
Overwhelming hunger descending on me
Stretches from the cradle to the factory
A minute without you is just too long
A lifetime beside you and it's gone like a song
Overwhelming panic descending on me
Chase me from the grave to the nursery
A minute without you is just too short
A lifetime beside you and I'm bound to get caught
Early in the evening gonna pull down the hood
Let the silence rush by 'cause it feels real good
Seven stupid prophets say it'll end in rain
But the fire in their eyes is gonna burn you again
Overwhelming hunger descending on me
Stretches from the cradle to the factory
A minute without you is just too long
A lifetime beside you and it's gone like a song
Overwhelming panic descending on me
Chase me from the grave to the nursery
A minute without you is just too short
A lifetime beside you and I'm bound to get caught
A minute without you is just too long
A lifetime beside you and it's gone like a song
