You can read his name
He will laugh at you
Ghost in the machinery
He turns it upside down
Ghost in the machinery
And dream he's out of sight
You're a perfect guy
How can you make peace
You never see his face
In the eyes of the children
In the heat of the moment
Born to make mistakes
And that's the only way
Ghost in the machinery
In the dark of night
Ghost in the machinery
When he's at war with you
No matter what you do
Ghost in the machinery
Ghost in the machinery
He knows the reason why
You can fall asleep
Ghost in the machinery
Ghost in the machinery
He's a wicked clown
He's a shock to the system
They'll make the same mistakes
In the heat of the moment
For he's the ghost inside
In the light of a new love
