Hungry Ghost Radio

Some call it oldies
Some call it top 40
Some call it nostalgia

Yet all who come are familiar with it
Like it or not
As it has played throughout the background
Of their everyday lives to this point

As children it all seems new and exciting
As adult hood comes
The memories of how great it is fades
The sparkle of it faded
And wiped by jobs money life

You earn a few days for vacation
Then a few days are set aside
For self and reflection

And we suddenly notice our playlist
As it's everywhere we go
Trying to remind us
Of our spark before the before adulthood times

Coffee and snacks end at 10 am
At the Iron Mountain Inn

This eternal ghost-driven radio station
Plays in the lobby to all tired hungry ghosts
Songs everyone can relate to
Songs everyone knows the words to
Songs we all want to hear forever

All the things you remember
All the people experience
Wrapped up and attached to all those songs

When it's enough is it really enough
Well life is tough and sometimes soul draining

And another story on the internet
In a life we're not sure we meant
In the background your song is on
Just when it feels like it's gone on too long

Replacing excitement with jaded hearts
Is what adult life does to make us all ghosts
