Radiohead – Give Up the Ghost Lyrics 14 years ago
I agree I think it is "don't hurt." Or he is alternating b/t don't haunt and don't hurt, but I think it's in there. I also don't think the song is about ghosts. It sounds to me like he's trying to surrender himself to something or someone but he's afraid of the pain. Give up the ghost= dying, saying "don't hurt me" because you're afraid of pain makes sense to me.

Either way, beautiful song. My favorite on the album.
