I was born in the middle of a screaming match 
Cleaned up sent to live with monks 
Raised up by Arabian wolves 
Grew up in the eye of a storm 
A gentleman crossed with a fiend 
Oh and I do say 
Oh and I do say 
Hungry Ghost Extraordinaire 
I believe we've been everywhere 
We sing so sweetly in the annals of the world 
These siren songs for misanthrope ears 
I grew old in the shadow of a prison wall 
Commemorated then thrown away 
Memorialized but wanted alive 
Canonized yet despised by all 
A cautionary tale for the kids 
Oh and I do say 
Oh and I do say 
Hungry Ghost Extraordinaire 
I believe we've been everywhere 
We sing so sweetly in the annals of the world 
These siren songs for misanthrope ears 
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME IS TRUE 
BUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU IS TOO 
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME IS TRUE 
BUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU IS TOO 
Hungry Ghost Extraordinaire 
I believe we've been everywhere 
We sing so sweetly in the annals of the world 
These siren songs for misanthrope ears 
This violent hymn through halcyon tears 
And what they say about me is true 
But what they say about you is too
