Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a dark and sweaty room in sixty nine
Tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls
And it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room
Candles burning
Present the stinkin' hippy
And throw the naked thunder to the crowd
[Verse 2]
Oh, in the hungry daze
[Verse 3]
The long and lonely highway drags along
It's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption
Something's goin' wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely
Trees are bare
We all came out to Montreux
But that's another song
You've heard it all before
[Verse 4]
In hungry daze
Back in the hungry daze, ah!
Back in the hungry daze
Back in hungry daze, ah!
[Verse 5]
Along the mountain road to do some drinking
And now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls
And it's so loud
Crew have lost again, ahh
They're beaten men
The winning team united
Living for the crowd
[Verse 6]
These are the hungry daze
These are, these are hungry daze
Hungry daze
Ah, ah, hungry daze, ah!
Hungry daze
These are the hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
