Lyrics Not a Robot, But a Ghost - Andrew Bird

Not a Robot, But a Ghost

I run the numbers through the floor\nhere’s how it goes: I crack the codes\nI crack the codes that end the war\nI crack the codes that end the war\nI pushed a note under your door\nhere’s how it goes: things come to blows\nbut we don’t want this anymore\nNo we don’t want this anymore\nWe don’t want this anymore\nI crack the codes, you end the war\nI hear the clockwork in your core\ntime strips the gears till you forget what they were for\nI push the numbers through your pores\nI crack the codes\nI crack the codes that end the war\nHow’s my view and\nyou can call\nencrypted numbers\non bathroom stalls\nthere’s something burning\nit casts a pall\nit’s melting numbers\nright off the wall\nI run the numbers through the floor\nhere’s how it goes: I crack the codes\nI crack the codes, you end the war
