Long ago, I tasted something sweet
It's an echo, it's a mem'ry in retreat
Like a feeling of fullness
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude of ancient heroes
It was something I trusted somehow
But now

But now it's gone, and I am incomplete
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat
If I flash on the future, I see only the empty future shock
An after-image
There is only I want, I want, I want

I don't know what I hunger for, I don't know why I feel the hunger
More and more with ev'ry passing day
I don't know from wherе the hunger springs
But that it's therе, and that it sings
Of some place far away

So get me up, and get me out, and let me never return
To the darkness, and the hollow, and to the burn
I want out of this hunger
Take me up to a higher altitude
Take me all the way!
I'm out of here. I am going there
I am gone!
Oh...
Get me up like Icarus, then give me wings like Pegasus
Just get me out and get me high!
