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 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 

Hu hu hu hu hu hu 
Ghost in the machinery 
Hu hu hu hu hu hu 
Ghost in the machinery 
Hu hu hu hu hu hu 

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 

Hu hu hu hu hu hu
