I'm a traveller, I'm a tinker
I make my money and I move around
It's kind of funny how you tied me down
With those hungry eyes
You're a lady but you messed up
I need your trouble like a hole in the head
It's kind of funny how you shoot me dead
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
It's no joke 'cause I'm a no-hope
I wish I wasn't 'cause I wanted to be
The kind of lover who'd always be
With those hungry eyes
You're a lady, you're so messed up
I seen you hanging round with some of your friends
It's kind of funny how they make amends
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
Another time another place
Another empty space
I need to be alive, I need to be
You are to me a fire to keep me warm
You keep me free from harm
If it could only be
But there's no chance
No chance of romance
I want to see you but you've disappeared
And I don't ever get to soothe the tears
From those hungry eyes
You're a lady but it's no good
You wanna burn me when you're feeling down
Don't understand it, you make me a clown
With those hungry eyes
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me
I need those hungry eyes, I need those
Hungry eyes keep looking at me
Hungry eyes tell me what do they see
No there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Need those hungry eyes looking at me.
