Hungry Ghosts Songtext
von SMILE

Two Springs ago things looked much different
Reflections of the once clear glass projected on the neighbors house
Like moon jellyfish now cracked and boarded up
Rose-ringed parakeets used to enjoy nesting there
While cat hunted her next meal
It seems no mix of seed and soil will bring them back now
No potion rich enough to repair tampered ground
And people live like this
I see neighbors frown when they look over the fence
People live like this. People live like this
People live like
I see neighbors frown when they look over the fence
People live like this. People live like this
People live like
Hungry ghosts
Like hungry ghosts
Hungry ghosts
Shared rituals


When I lie I die
Just to break them again
Erda! Oh Erda! Oh Erda!
Aloe treats your summer burns
Adorned with carefully hand knit laces
Cut you apple slices from ancient rotting trees
Filth is my politics and filth is my life
Filth is my backbone and filth is my lie
You′ve seen 40 years of madness!
The earth dried beneath us
Stuck in a wanting loop but love is always loving you
And people live like this, set on the edge of town
No mix of wealth and spoils can bring them back now
Love is always loving you
When our needs are not met we find substitutes
Drink salt water to quench our thirst
Stuck in a wanting loop, we forget that love is always loving you
Love is always loving you
