Got big old desires that just won't be slaked
Got wants and wishes that can't be faked
No they can't be faked
Got a big old hunger that won't be satisfied
Don't matter how much you eat
You still feel deprived
You got a thirst
You want it quenched
It's your only reason
Now that you're living in the dry season
Got a deep old wound and nothing's gonna heal it
And every time you go for a walk
There's no way to conceal it
You kick up a fuss and you get no reaction
But then you make it too personal
And you get dissatisfaction
Got a big old pain, hurts down to the bone
No one knows about it
You're completely alone
Want a little loving, would settle for a little like
But every time you try askin'
It's "Go take a hike"
