In the heat of the moment, in the dark of the night
You never see his face for he's the ghost inside
In the heat of the moment, he will laugh at you
How can you make peace when he's at war with you

In the heat of the moment, you're the perfect guy
Born to make mistakes, he knows the reason why
He's a shock to the system, he's a wicked clown
No matter what you do, he turns it upside down

Hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery

In the light of a new love, in the dark of the night
You can fall asleep and dream he's out of sight
In the eyes of children, you can read his name
They'll make the same mistakes and that's the only way
The only way

Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery

Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery

Hu, hu, hu, hu
Ghost in the machinery
