Hungry Ghosts (Lyrics)(73 bpm)
By James Jones

You and me, when the sun goes down
were like hungry ghosts in a vampire town
Making love, when the trouble's in
When there was nothing left to lose,but nothing left to win

And I remember, our second chance
That I held your hand, all the while
But I was fooled by your easy grace
Your warm embrace, and your smile

Now, I was lost and paralyzed
Cried enough tears to last my life
I caught my breath and closed my eyes
Swallowing your tears and all your lies
But now I'm miles away, and in a better place
I can breathe again

Let me breathe, in the deep dark night
where the grey owl hoots and the lions fight
Feel the cool of the evening mist
And the fire's tongue, like a lovers kiss

And when I feel the longing on the wind
Drawing me back again, I wonder why
Cause after all the hurt you put me through
I couldn't go back to you, or even try

Now, I was lost and paralyzed
Cried enough tears to last my life
I caught my breath and closed my eyes
Swallowing your tears and all your lies
But now I'm miles away, and in a better place
I can breathe again

You and me, when the sun goes down
were like hungry ghosts in vampire town
