  • Ooh, ooh, ooh

    I know you're leavin' me
    I know I'm not your home
    You want a movie dancer
    You want blood from a stone
    But I'm on to you
    And you will pour your heart into
    Any shimmering fad
    Throwin' good after bad

    People get addicted to
    The rush, the chase, the new
    Just hopin' that all that chaos
    Will lead to somethin' like this
    I'll get over you
    But you won't be whole until you do
    You won't find what you had
    Throwin' good after bad

    And I'll always feel a little left behind
    But that lyin' wind that calls your name
    Will leave you flyin' blind

    Are you fantasizin'?
    You're takin' us for granted
    I know you're bored
    You always say I'm heavy handed
    You got a beautiful mind
    And the soul of a coyote
    Hunger drivin' you mad
    Throwin' good after bad
    Hunger drivin' you mad
    Throwin' good after bad

    I know you loved me once
    You were somethin' to prove
    I was an unfinished song
    You were nothin' to lose
    I'm a dandelion
    And when my color suited you
    You allowed me to grow
    But you know when you know
    And now the party's over
    And you're dancin' alone
    You've been spinnin' 'round for hours
    The band have all gone home

    And you're fantasizin'
    You're takin' us for granted
    I know you're bored
    You always say I'm heavy handed
    You got a beautiful mind
    And the soul of a coyote
    Hunger drivin' you mad
    Throwin' good after bad
    Hunger drivin' you mad
    Throwin' good after bad
    Hunger drivin' you mad
    Throwin' good after bad
    Hunger drivin' you mad
