I woke up as a stranger in a strange and distant world 
that's full of neon lights and flying cars made out of chrome 
and a part of it is just like in my dreams but no, 
I don't think I'm dreaming anymore  

I see the city through a filter of a static glitch 
and all the city lights and holograms are flickering 
In a copy of the physical reality 
Now I am a soul reborn with digital mortality  

Life inside a stream 
this is not a dream 
my home is a pixel dot 
on a video screen  

My heart is red and blue 
and my mind is green 
I'm living once again 
as a ghost in the machine  

Life inside a stream 
Ghost in the machine  

As I'm walking on the streets under the morning sun 
I am wondering if I am real or just a code 
Whose creation am I living as inside this world 
and whose questions am I asking now?  

On the streets inside this empty city I'm alone 
greeting passengers with no identity at all 
I'm becoming one of them and I'm not fighting it 
I begin a new life in this pixelized society   

Now a simulated version of a being 
I am searching for the beauty in believing 
But inside this algorithm I'm alone 
One day I will find a way to break it on my own  

Life inside a stream 
this is not a dream 
my home is a pixel dot 
on a video screen  

My heart is red and blue 
and my mind is green 
I'm living once again 
as a ghost in the machine  

Life inside a stream 
This is not a dream 
My new reality 
A ghost in the machine  

Do you want to feel 
what it's like to be 
in a lifelike fantasy 
inside a pixel dream  

go to places where 
you have never been 
live again inside 
a new reality?
