This Hungry Life Lyrics - Tanya Donelly

Night falls and the light fades 

And still you won't take off your sunglasses 

I know what you're thinking 

You think the kids don't care 

And you're defeated 

And the rain comes 

And the rain goes again 

And you see this as some symbol of your pain 

This hungry life won't let you out whole 

But you can change a thing or two 

Before you go 

This hungry life 

Might not leave you with much 

But you can change your story 

And throw a hand up from the mud 

Night falls and the rain comes 

And the rain goes 

And the moon is a stain when you've lost something 

And you wait and you wait 

And you wait 

For the end or the girl or the song 

Or the boy or the faith 

Or the leader who won't bring you shame 

And you wait and you wait 

And you wait 

This hungry life won't let you out whole 

But you can change a thing or two 

Before you go 

This hungry life 

Might not leave you with much 

But you can change your story 

And throw a hand up from the mud 

This hungry life won't let you out whole 

But you can change a thing or two 

Before you go 

This hungry life 

Might not leave you with much 

Kick up some dust 

Earn someone's trust 

Leave a few words behind you 

If you must 

Pick a good fight 

And keep someone up all night 

Change the story, change the story
