lyrics

I MET THIS WOMAN AND SHE SAID SHE'D GIVE HER HEART TO ME
I DIDN’T NEED THAT PUMP I ONLY NEEDED HER TO BLEED
JUST ONE SIP IS NEVER ENOUGH
CAN’T STOP DRINKING ONCE I’VE BEGUN
AND I’LL NEVER GIVE IT UP COS I CAN'T SATISFY MY GREED

IT’S NEARLY FOUR IN THE MORNING
AND SOON THE DAY WILL BE DAWNING
I GOTTA GET BACK BEFORE THE SUNRISE
I NEED TO SLEEP IN MY COFFIN
NOW I DRUNK MY FILL AND I FEEL - JOYFUL

CAN’T SEE NO REASON WHY I NEED TO JUSTIFY TO YOU
WHY I’M THE WAY I AM OR WHY I DO THE THINGS I DO
COS THE HUNTER CAPTURES HIS PREY
LAWS OF NATURE MUST BE OBEYED
WHEN YOU’RE TOP OF THE FOODCHAIN
EVERYBODY ELSE JUST LOOKS LIKE FOOD

IT’S NEARLY FOUR IN THE MORNING
AND SOON THE DAY WILL BE DAWNING
I GOTTA GET BACK BEFORE THE SUNRISE
I NEED TO SLEEP IN MY COFFIN
NOW I DRUNK MY FILL AND I FEEL - JOYFUL

WHEN I HAVE HAD ENOUGH I FEEL A CALM COME OVER ME
DRINK FROM THE FOUNTAIN SO THAT I CAN FIND MY INNER PEACE
I'M JUST TAKING ONE HUMAN LIFE
AND I ONLY TAKE ONE EACH NIGHT
AND IT ALWAYS FEELS SO RIGHT, MUST BE THE WAY I’M MEANT TO BE
AND I FEEL JOYFUL
