Darken the city, night is a wire
00:18
Steam in the subway, earth is afire (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
00:28
00:34
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
00:46
And catch my breathing even closer behind (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
00:49
In touch with the ground
00:54
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
00:56
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
01:01
And I'm hungry like the wolf
01:04
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
01:08
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
01:09
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
01:12
And I'm hungry like the wolf
01:14
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
01:18
01:21
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
01:24
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
01:26
01:29
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
01:34
In touch with the ground
01:38
01:41
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
01:47
A scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
01:50
And I'm hungry like the wolf
01:54
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
01:56
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
02:00
Mouth is alive, all running inside
02:03
And I'm hungry like the wolf
02:10
Hungry like the wolf
02:13
02:15
Hungry like the wolf
02:29
Hungry like the wolf
02:32
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
02:33
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
02:35
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
02:39
And I'm hungry like the wolf
02:41
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
02:42
02:47
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
02:53
02:57
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
03:01
And I'm hungry like the wolf
03:02
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
03:04
03:07
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
03:13
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
03:18
03:21
And I'm hungry like the wolf
03:26
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
03:29
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
03:31
Mouth is alive all running inside
03:32

[English]
Darken the city, night is a wireSteam in the subway, earth is afire (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
A scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
