Story Behind The Song
Started with a guitar riff that sparked a bass riff that launched a drum beat.
Song Description
In life one is constantly bombarded with the need to keep up with the Jones' while keeping an essence of yourself. By mixing the two worlds you create a devilish dichotomy of greed lust and desire. Three masters that cannot be served at the same time.

Lyrics
I'm living big time, but it's haunted
I always want you to write my story
I'm living big time, but it's haunted
I can't chase the ghosts away with ink
I'm living fat city and manage drastic
I always thought my tongue would dig my grave
I'm living fact city, I'm magic
I always thought I'd trade my prada for gold
I'm living dirt cheap, but it's nasty
I wanna buy my way out of everything
I'm living dirt cheap, I'm spastic
I wanna kill the devil inside with pills
Yeah Yeah
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
I'm living big and loud, but I'm a phoney
I can't shake the webs away with my blood
I'm living big and loud, but I stay hungry
I wanna wash my mouth all out with mud
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
(Solo)
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
Yeah, Whet my Appetite for Gold
(outro)
I'm living big time but it's haunted
I always want you to write my story
I'm living big and loud but I'm a phoney
I can't chase the ghosts away with ink
