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 youIn the heat of the moment
You're a perfect guy
Born to make mistakes
He knows the reason whyHe's a shock to the system
He's a wicked clown
No matter what you do
He turns it upside downGhost in the machineryIn the light of a new love
In the dark of night
You can fall asleep
And dream he's out of sightIn the eyes of the children
You can read his name
They'll make the
same mistakes
And that's the only way
