Hungry Ghosts (Rain)

Lyrics

Hungry Ghosts Just another oil spill Forests burning in Brazil Little kids with guns who kill don't play And we are full of words like could If I could I really would Anyway, I know I should, O.K.? So, let's keep on talking 'Cause talk is cheap, And making promises We never mean to keep Yea, let's keep on saying the things we always say Were just betraying Our own selves anyway We've tried to slow our frantic flight Into the shallow black and white Into the mind of wrong and right, in vain With cravings we can never still And stomachs we can never fill Just hungry ghosts who've lost their will remain So, let's keep on talking Talking in our sleep And making promises We can never keep Yea, let's keep on saying All the things we say We're just betraying our own selves anyway It has taken centuries To arive at times like these A giant's fallen to his knees insane Enough for all going to some Let's face it we're all numb Or else we might be overcome with pain So, let's keep on talking 'Cause talk is cheap And making promises We never seem to keep Yea, let's keep on saying The things we always say We're just betraying our own selves anyway c copyright 1998 Carolyn Baron
