The Nature Of The Beast

She keeps telling him it's over
And not t0 call again
Then he's knocking at her doorway
But she won't let him in
She tells him past the door chain
That he's cut her way too deep
That she just can't forgive him
And that's the nature of the beast

He goes back t0 his car
T0 lick his sounds beside the curb
Remembering how they used t0 be
Gnawing at the hurt
Staring through her window
Like a beggar at a feast
It only feed his hunger
And that's the nature of the beast

Chorus
Love is a hunger
Hunger is a need
Need knows no forgiveness
That's the nature of the beast

When she goes out for the evening
He follows three cars back
Running now on instinct
Staying on her track
Stripped of all defenses, a heart will bare its teeth
If he can 't have her no one will
That 's the nature of the beast

Chorus
Love is a hunger
Hunger is a need
Need knows no forgiveness
That's the nature of the beast (Repeat chorus)

Tag
That 's the nature of the beast
The nature of the beast
