Hungry Ghost Songtext
von Martin Page

So let us walk then just you and I
Where the sun melts against the sky
To lose ourselves in cheap hotels
In the blue wake of night
For trembling down deserted streets
Where we′ll breathe in a different air
Funny how the sorrow ends
When the moon is in your hair

I can taste it
Your lips so red
Your perfumed blood runs to my head
You burn my soul oh like a hungry ghost
On your thin white neck
Ooh the veins of sweat
Cry down your body
And melt into my skin


You will be my sacrifice
As this dirty town falls asleep
And I will die for you a second time
As the grey rain stains your cheek

I can taste it
Your lips so red
Your perfumed blood runs to my head
You burn my soul oh like a hungry ghost
On your thin white neck
Ooh the veins of sweat
Cry down your body
And melt into my skin

Desire crawls
Towards a church of no regret
Two shadows on a subway wall
Oh we take our jealous steps
Into this land of sadness


On your tongue
The salt of sin
The feast of flesh
Oblivion
You burn my soul oh like a hungry ghost
On my sweet twist of fate
In your name I burn prayers to the sun

I can taste it
Your lips so red
Your perfumed blood runs to my head
You burn my soul oh like a hungry ghost
On your thin white neck
Ooh the veins of sweat
Cry down your body
And melt into my skin
