Hungry Ghost Songtext
von Danny Golden

Well, I tried to grin and bear it
But the horse has caught the carrot again
Left me without warning
About the time the storming began

Now I′m sleeping in the alley
In this god forsaken valley of sin
And I'm lookin′ for the upside
In the way that only losers can win

Thought we were having a good time
With our heads held high
And the windows down
And our music way up loud

Did I miss something or did I
Did I speak too soon
Did I lose my cool
Did I make my old man proud?


Well, I know it wasn't something I did
It must be something I said
Yeah, the ghost is getting hungry
He's gotta find a way to get fed

There′s a wind across the river
It′s giving me a shiver at night
Speaks to me in whispers
And tells me that I'm on the wrong side

Tried to make it cross the bridge
But the tollbooth had nobody inside
Well, it might be in my head
But at least now I can say that I′ve tried

Thought we were having a good time
With our heads held high
And the windows down
And our music way up loud

Did I miss something or did I
Did I speak too soon
Did I lose my cool
Did I make my old man proud?


Well, I know it wasn't something I did
It must be something I said
Yeah, the ghost is getting hungry
He′s gotta find a way to get fed

Started watering the roots
In the hope she's gonna bear me some fruit
You know nothing′s guaranteed, there's only
History that we can review

So I took a long position
You know I'm optimistic at heart
Hey, that′s why they call it fishin′
Yeah, it beats taking a shot in the dark

Thought we were having a good time
With our heads held high
And the windows down
And our music way up loud

Did I miss something or did I
Did I speak too soon
Did I lose my cool
Did I make my old man proud?

Well, I know it wasn't something I heard
It must be something I read
Yeah, the ghost is getting hungry
He′s gotta find a way to get fed
