PAPER BAG
I was staring at the sky just looking for a star
to pray on or wish on or something like that
i was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
whose reality i knew was a hopeless to be had
but then the dove of hope began it's downwards slope
and i believed for a moment that my chances
were approching to be grabbed
but as it came down near so did a weary tear
i thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag

CHORUS
hunger hurts and i want him so bad, oh it kills
coz i know i'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
i got to fold coz these hands are too shaky to hold
hunger hurts but starving works
when it costs too much to love

and i went crazy again today
looking for a strand to climb looking for a little hope
baby said he wouldn't stay wouldn't put his lips to mine
and a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
i said "honey don't feel so good, don't feel justified
come and put a little love here into my void" he said
"it's all in your head" and i said "so's everything" but he didn't get it
i thought he was a man but he wass just a little boy
