lyrics

AMBITION

I wake up to start my day pull the covers off my back let Satie lay
But before I can bless the morning sky a ripple on the radar hits my eye
Somewhere out west I can smell a new fur coat laid out on a golden chest
And i know that the crew could use a few hours out in open air to show their quality

Bold and hungry
Flyin’ on the edge I‘m living
Bold and hungry
A devil on the prowl

Singin’ songs of setting suns is only gonna kill the fun
So sing for the girls who dance all night
And soothe your soul deep in their light
The power to live happily is conscious of your apathy
So if you would be your own relief
Know Your Enemy

Bold and hungry
Flyin’ on the edge I’m living
Bold and hungry
A devil on the prowl

Gold by the bone
What ya got is what I need
I've been here before
But I can't rest no more

Foreigners beware the sky where flags fly proudly for a price
It's not just a cruise you sign on to
When you sign up your soul signs too so pick your poison

Bold and hungry
Flyin’ on the edge im living
Bold and hungry
A devil on the prowl
