How to kill the hunger It runs free in my soul am i still a predator do i eat my victims whole I want someone to nurture I want someone to kiss but i still want to chase and hunt I still yearn for this Is it in my instinct Or am i a man begotten Is it in my DNA or am i purely rotten Am i a tiger on the game My soul it aches so sore Am i a player am i the game Or am i just a bore If i tire of the hunt Im sure my life is through For i am made of wanderlust I wander without you If you think i get tied down in all of lifes humanity Its true i tremble but do not bend In view of my responsability But in my deepest darkest desires A lonely tiger lurks It feeds from smiles and winks Its rarely sated thirst It longs to roam free and hunt as every tiger does I hear the hounds a baying My eyes turn to the front I watch her tail wagging The hunter joins the hunt

You're just a bore, I'm afraid.
