Zola Jesus - Hunger Lyrics

Oh, I got the hunger
It moves but won't lose it
I'm not gettin' younger
I use it, abusively

I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
It's takin' me under till it takes me away
I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
I won't surrender, still it takes me away

It's been five years waitin' around for
Crooks that will swallow gold
Sick of being seen, tired of these?
It won't save me, it won't please(?) me, no
I got a hunger, it will not let go
I got too many roads to know

I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
It's takin' me under till it takes me away
I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
I won't surrender, still it takes me away

It's been too many times, I've tested myself
Waiting up on Nemo, absolute you (?)
Mother Lung, gimme a heart shake
Suffer, this maze I gotta break
It won't let up, it won't save me, no
I got a hunger that will not let go
I got too many roads to know

I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
It's takin' me under till it takes me away
I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
I won't surrender, still it takes me away

(Takes me away)
(Takes me away)
(Takes me away)
There is something I want
I long for, I need
There is something I want
I long for, I need

I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
It's takin' me under till it takes me away
I got the hunger, I got the hunger in my veins
I won't surrender, still it takes me away
