The Hungry Ghost

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
All the things we never know we needLooks like we get them in the endMeasure time in leisure time and greedAnd by the time we get to spendA floating bedA head of stoneA home plugged into every phoneKimono coral floral printExclusive tint and cut reclusiveNo it doesn't come for freeBut it's the priceWe pay for happinessNo don't talk about more to life than thisDream a world maybe no one ownsNo don't think about all the life we missSwallow doubt as the hunger growsMake believe it's like no one knowsEven if we turn more to mostWe'll never satisfy the hungry ghostAll the stuff we know we never wantSeems like we get it anywaySafe to say it isn't really wrongBut when we know we only...Yeah, throw it all awayYeah, all of this we never know we wantIt's like we get it anywaySafe to say it isn't ever wrongBetter to get than to delayA 3D screenA cleaner pitA bit pulled out of every hitAddicted latest greatest pieceDesign caprice and make the headlineNo it doesn't come for freeBut it's the priceWe pay for happinessNo don't talk about more to life than thisDream a world maybe no one ownsNo don't think about all the life we missSwallow doubt as the hunger growsMake believe it's like no one knowsEven if we turn more to mostWe'll never satisfy the hungry ghostAnd all of thisWe know we never needWell it's the priceWe pay for happinessYeah
