Starsapien - The Hungry Man Lyrics

I'm not trying to die today
No I'm not trying to kill
But the hungry man is here
With a hole to fill
He caught a stray from around the way
Didn't see it coming that day
Protest his violence
Pretend and pray
Time is slipping away
If you know how it ends
When the bottle of medicine is through
(Threw it away)
And the battle for Waterloo we lost
(Lost and found in love)
The love I had and what it cost
Lord Jim sailed the Malay way
He took his lead in the chest
So forgive the shame and guilt
That's all in the past
Fill it in with your dirt and sin
Heaping stacks of cigarette ash in the wind
Poor man spilled his Irish
Last call called too soon
One more story or two
Dozing whore
Not much more a man can do
When he's barreling toward you
How can it be
I had eyes but couldn't see
The cliche was a sad truth
