Lyrics for Not a Robot, But a Ghost
I run the numbers through the floor Here's how it goes, I crack the codes I crack the codes that end the war I crack the codes that end the war, oh The hour The hour The hour The hour I pushed a note under your door Here's how it goes, things come to blows But we don't want this anymore No, we don't want this anymore, oh We don't want this anymore I crack the codes, you end the war I hear the clockwork in your core Time strips the gears 'til you forget what they were for And I push the numbers through your pores I crack the codes, I crack the codes that end the war How's my living, you can call Encrypted numbers on bathroom stalls There's something burning, it casts a pall It's melting numbers right off the wall I run the numbers through the floor Here's how it goes, I crack the codes I crack the codes, you end the war The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour, yeah
