[Intro: Simon Le Bon]
"Is anybody hungry?"

[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire

[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind

[Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon, Charmaine Burch & Raphael DeJesus]
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

[Verse 3: Simon Le Bon]
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side

[Verse 4: Simon Le Bon]
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind

[Chorus 2: Simon le Bon, Charmaine Burch & Raphael DeJesus]
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

[Bridge: Simon Le Bon]
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

[Chorus 3: Simon Le Bon, Charmaine Burch & Raphael DeJesus]
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

[Chorus 4: Simon Le Bon, Charmaine Burch & Raphael DeJesus]
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
