lyrics
An empty bottle’s good for nothing, an empty bed is just the same
Yeah that’s what my sweetheart told me but I can’t recall her name
She said ‘at first it hurts then burns you worse than thirsting after fame
Because the fire of animal desire is the beast you cannot tame’
It’s an age old epidemic, it’s eternity’s disease
Drives a full grown man to drinking and a young man to his knees
The sultry sirens stoop to sinning when they torture and they tease
For when they grow they moan the oldest note, the starving summer breeze
But in a way we all change and it feels so strange to be ourselves
And if we try at all to fight we find the loneliest nights, our private hells
Yeah that’s what my sweetheart told me but I can’t recall her name
She said ‘at first it hurts then burns you worse than thirsting after fame
Because the fire of animal desire is the beast you cannot tame’
It’s an age old epidemic, it’s eternity’s disease
Drives a full grown man to drinking and a young man to his knees
The sultry sirens stoop to sinning when they torture and they tease
For when they grow they moan the oldest note, the starving summer breeze
But in a way we all change and it feels so strange to be ourselves
And if we try at all to fight we find the loneliest nights, our private hells
