Ghost in My Pocket

Verse 1

Deep in the machine where the magnets hum

Dropped my black mirror through the wire and steel

Twenty-six years in a parallel dream

Woke up to find out nothing was real

Chorus

I got a ghost in my pocket

Screaming from the other side

Ghost in my pocket

Show me what you've tried to hide

Ghost in my pocket

Burning through the walls of time

Verse 2

They found it in the wreckage where the hadrons kissed

Pictures in the camera I never took

An album that never should exist

A band that never broke the hook

Pre-Chorus

They came with their badges and their black sedans

Wrapped it in a plastic bag

Tried to erase the wonder with a plan

Chorus

I got a ghost in my pocket

Screaming from the other side

Ghost in my pocket

Show me what you've tried to hide

Ghost in my pocket

Burning through the walls of time

Bridge

Somewhere Roger never walked away

Somewhere Waters stayed

Somewhere the dark side never faded to gray

Somewhere the machine obeyed

Verse 3

They slipped it in a burn bag deep in Langley's maze

Some basement room where documents go to die

But fingerprints of photons still catch the light

Every time I picture that cracked glass eye

Chorus

I got a ghost in my pocket

Screaming from the other side

Ghost in my pocket

Show me what you've tried to hide

Ghost in my pocket

Burning through the walls of time

Outro

Ghost... ghost...

In my pocket...

Ghost...
