Days when I can taste my life Days when I taste dead Belly full of cold white lies To keep this hunger fed Watch the one who wants it all Watch him like a hawk What goes up there must come down Watch for where he'll fall Fat will be your pockets then That will be your thrill Inch by inch you're peaking now Bowl back down that hill Dance on plateau, crawl in mud Fortunes ebb and flow Wax a lifetime wane a day Feel your foothold go May all you touch turn to gold May you soar (may you) Light every light down your way Ever more Can't stay hungry This old man he takes five just to keep a wish alive Days when I can eat life up Day's I've had my fill Love this taste of getting there Building what you will Make this hunger work for you Make it pay the rent Always climbing don't look down Those days are heaven sent May all you touch turn to gold May you soar (may you) Light every light down your way Ever more Can't stay hungry This old man he bought one quick lead poison from his gun Can't stay hungry This old man he bought one quick lead poison from his gun This old man he takes five just to keep a wish alive
