Lyrics
GHOST IN THE MACHINE - Richard Murray
Rollin' on, I'm rollin' on
Dark as thunder to the dawn
Eyes like glass, lost and forlorn
But I'm rollin' on
I put her down in a yard of bones
They blessed the ground, they cut the stone
A voice came callin 'You've dug your own boy'
I put her down in a yard of bones
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
Its on my hands its in my veins
Her crimson blood it still remains
But she kept me right when I'd smoked my brains
Its on my hands its in my veins
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
You can never give up the ghost
Sometimes you miss what you hate the most
Youth and beauty headin' south
Cannon fire from the mouth
But I'll work and I'll take my time
And I'll sleep on the side that's mine
When I roll over she kicks my mind
She always kept my ass in line
Yea I'll work I'll take my time
GHOST IN THE MACHINE - Richard Murray
Rollin' on, I'm rollin' on
Dark as thunder to the dawn
Eyes like glass, lost and forlorn
But I'm rollin' on
I put her down in a yard of bones
They blessed the ground, they cut the stone
A voice came callin 'You've dug your own boy'
I put her down in a yard of bones
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
Its on my hands its in my veins
Her crimson blood it still remains
But she kept me right when I'd smoked my brains
Its on my hands its in my veins
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
You can never give up the ghost
Sometimes you miss what you hate the most
Youth and beauty headin' south
Cannon fire from the mouth
But I'll work and I'll take my time
And I'll sleep on the side that's mine
When I roll over she kicks my mind
She always kept my ass in line
Yea I'll work I'll take my time
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
Shes a ghost in the machine
She was the one she was the queen
Now shes a ghost in the machine
Shes all gone but still in me
The ghost in the machine
Shes a ghost in the machine
