This is my first finished collaboration here, but hopefully not the last.
Thank you to everyone for their amazing work on this & also for the input. I hope to go into a studio and re-record the vocals at some point to get a better take, but current version gives the gist. It's been such an interesting process seeing this song develop from me conveying the tune by singing it acapella to doc jumping in, to the finished version.
Feedback most welcome.

LYRICS
(V1)
She walks, like there's nowhere to go
Her head, tilted slightly below
She floats, and her shadow is shy
People think, that she might be a spy
(V2)
She loves, much too quickly it seems
Any moment, her heart will tear at the seams
When she enters a room, she's alone
One glance, and her cover is blown.
(Chorus)
Hungry ghost, hungry ghost
You have chosen me as your host
Take apart, break apart, steal a piece of this lonely heart
Hungry ghost, hungry ghost
These are moments that hurt me the most
Poke a stick, make it stick, disappear with a magic trick
(V3)
She is living a life that's a lie
Late at night you can hear her soul cry
There are things that she can't understand
Yet she'll comply with your every demand
(V4)
And you, you don't know her at all
Have her number, but you never do call
Her eyes are so black you get lost
Beauty always comes at a cost
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
But you are such a rebel
You've learned how to cheat time
You got away with murder
And now you're paying for your crime
(Chorus)
