Hear the coyote howl
He's found his pray at last
In one moment of weakness
The chase is over so fast
He celebrates his kill
No mercy in his eyes
When you're born with the hunger
The hunger never dies
Midnight is on the prowl
And I hear it call my name
Danger lurks in the shadows
But it's all part of a game
Until I quench this thirst
I will not close these eyes
When you're born with the hunger

I don't wanna live without you
God, it hurts to be alone
But livin' with you or without you
Cuts my poor heart to the bone
'Cause my heart gets broken everytime we fall
There's only so much left unshattered
This time I know my back's against the wall
But the truth's the only thing
That matters anymore
I'm scared in a crowd of people
And you're afraid to be alone
I have prayed you'd be beside me

Oh brother, man where are you
I am bucklin' from the load
I have lost my eye for color
And my heart can't see the road
Oh sister come and catch me
'Cause my legs, their prime has passed
I am breakin' from the sorrow
And my faith is fadin' fast
Mother, father help me
I'm your flesh and blood and bone
Don't you hear me, can't you see me
Am I doomed to live alone
Without warmth or love or honor

My heart cried out to for you over an ocean
And your pain cried out for me across a wave
You hid half dead, numb to any emotion
'Cause you were a prisoner and I was your slave
We both stopped searching for any acceptance
And rejection always was our bitter pill
'Cause I have no precious gifts to give you
Only have four words; darling I love you
I love you still

I met a woman in San Francisco
Who was lying in the street
I walked on past her in a hurry
I didn't want her at my feet
Am I just numb or overloaded
Or have I lost all sense of worth
This lady beggin' for survival
Doomed by a twist of fate from Earth
I met this woman in San Francisco
She only had one shoe
Have we all gone crazy
How can this happen
Is there nothin' we can do

It's hard to hit a moving target
At least that's what I've been told
If they can't catch you they can't hurt you
You never let them get a hold
So I keep runinn'
I keep right on runnin'
I've always pushed it to the limit
In fact I've pushed it way past that
If you got guts then jump on in it
If not then don't forget your hat
And I keep runnin'
Keep on runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'

Your faith is not faithful
Your grace has no grace
Your mercy shows no mercy
Is there no way out of this place?
There's a baby crying softly
In a dark and dangerous place
She's imprisones by no language
Fear grips her tiny face
In God's house she's held a hostage
By a cruel and heartless mob
There's some rules they think God's written
And it justifies their job
Sisters of mercy[sisters of mercy]

Never even knew you
But I heard your note today
You talk about injustice
And how we look the other way
I knew full well your meaning
But my world just moves too fast
It's a shame about your future
It's a crime about your past
Was there no one who could save you
From the prison of each breath
Like Rapunzel in her tower
Isolation equals death
Was there no one who could rescue you

I know now how much I love you
I knew it surely when I saw my blood
I cried with my wet eyes, I said "I love you"
I said "I love you" dying in the mud
It's funny, you know I'm not the one that feels bad
Some guy is gonna knock at our front door
Honey, he's gonna try and tell you in a nice way
That Missus you're not a Missus anymore
Just one more time I wish that I could see you

If you're gonna make an omelette
You gotta break an egg
You wanna be in showbiz
Then you gotta break a leg
Babe you're heading on a journey
I hate to see you make
Cause the only food they sell there
Is called Disaster Cake
You won't plan it or deserve it
When life sneaks behind your back
It'll grab you by the short hairs
And gently tie you to the rack
If you think you can outrun it
