In case they are patrolling us
Perfect cover for spies like us
Hit send
It's easy to be evil by remote control
Misdirect
Keep 'em guessing so they don't expect
Give cause so they can't object
It's just too easy
It's like fishing in a barrel with an elephant gun
The lion sleeps tonight
Anaesthetized
Might wanna poke him with a stick
To make sure he's still alive
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
An old card trick
Spread 'em out for you to take your pick
A magic moment and a move so slick
It's a miracle
The only real illusion was you got to choose
Your mind's made up
You heard it from a source you trust
But there's no evidence to prove this stuff
Who cares?
If you hear it loud and long enough it must be true
The lion sleeps tonight
Anaesthetized
Might wanna poke him with a stick
To make sure he's still alive
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
In case they are patrolling us
Perfect cover for spies like us
Hit send
It's easy to be evil by remote control
Misdirect
Keep 'em guessing so they don't expect
Give cause so they can't object
It's just too easy
It's like fishing in a barrel with an elephant gun
The lion sleeps tonight
Anaesthetized
Might wanna poke him with a stick
To make sure he's still alive
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
An old card trick
Spread 'em out for you to take your pick
A magic moment and a move so slick
It's a miracle
The only real illusion was you got to choose
Your mind's made up
You heard it from a source you trust
But there's no evidence to prove this stuff
Who cares?
If you hear it loud and long enough it must be true
The lion sleeps tonight
Anaesthetized
Might wanna poke him with a stick
To make sure he's still alive
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
Bow down touch your screen
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
We're just ghosts in this machine
