Lyrics:

In the heat of the moment, in the dark of 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 a 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
Oh, oh

Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery

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

Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery

Yeah, oh
Ooh, oh
Yeah

Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery

Woo
Ooh
Hoo hoo
Ghost in the machinery
