Full Lyrics of Ghost In The Machine
I’m just a ghost in the machine
I’m just a stranger in a strange land
I’m just a face in a crowd
I’m just a ghost in the machine
I’m just a shadow of a doubt
I’m just a whisper in the wind
I’m just a memory in a dream
I’m just a ghost in the machine
Life is so fleeting
It’s here today and gone tomorrow
We must take the time to appreciate
The beauty and the sorrow
I’m just a ghost in the machine
I’m just a stranger in a strange land
I’m just a face in a crowd
I’m just a ghost in the machine
I’m just a memory in a dream
I’m just a shadow of a doubt
I’m just a whisper in the wind
I’m just a ghost in the machine
Life is so fleeting
It’s here today and gone tomorrow
We must take the time to appreciate
The beauty and the sorrow
We must take the time to appreciate
The beauty and the sorrow
