Killing Joke - Pleasures Of The Flesh lyrics

and i'm unable to stop

i stand outside of my body

but it continues to walk

love me and touch me

your body my feast

torn between two sides of my nature

half god and half beast

this hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best

and when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control

and then my mind starts to work out

what's going on

while the knot in my stomach

is telling me something's wrong

yes it's all the pain that i'm feeling

and the guilt that i hide

yes it's all the hurt that i caused you

and all the tears that i've cried

this hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best

this craving comes and all i want is more - just a little bit more

to be shameless is blameless if we be what we are

if freedom is what i suspect

then tomorrow will jar against your conditioning

this hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best

but when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control
