The Hungry Ghost

from Beijing Bikini by Grass Mud Horse

about

In China there's a sort of Halloween festival in August. Some believe the spirits of the dead return to earth, starving hungry and must be appeased with offerings, failing to do so can result in very evil restless spirits who will attempt to eat humans.

lyrics

Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost

Come to the sea and swim at night
Where the darkness keeps us out of sight
We’ll drag you down and hold on tight
accept your fate don’t try to fight
When your spirits gone and I’ll let myself in
I’m free to walk about inside your skin
Come swim with us late at night
Where the darkness keeps us out of sight

Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost

When you’re walking home late at night
Try to keep yourself in the light
If you hear your name whispered slight
Don’t turn around don’t respond take flight
When your spirits gone and I let myself in
I’m free to walk about inside your skin
So don’t go walking late at night
Where the darkness keeps us out of sight

Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost

The Dead are literally rising from the grave
It’s pure chaos mass hysteria
The gates of hell have been thrust open
The souls of the hungry and forgotten march forth to exact their revenge
We’ll stay with you to the very end
May God have mercy on us all

Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
Woah Oh Woah Oh
Feed the hungry ghost
