Simple Minds

[Verse 1]
Shadows in your room
Like a ghost you'll never see
Look in to the one you love if you're afraid of me
Ghettos in his eyes
He plays a torch song melody
Listen to the one you love if you're afraid of me, go

[Chorus]
Ghost rider
E.S.P.
Paperback rider
You can't fool me

[Verse 2]
When all is said and done
Babylon was meant to be
Shitting on the one you love if you're afraid of me
He's got the wild dog in his eyes
He's got a speedball in his brain
Running through the roads of love like a marathon man, get back

[Chorus]
Ghost rider
E.S.P.
The devil inside her
Don't want it to be
Yeah, the ghost rider
E.S.P.
A paperback rider

[Post-Chorus]
Deep down in his soul, every little boy knows
The he can't stop running, so go, yeah

[Bridge]
Look out, there's been a shoot out for love, yeah
I've got the shivers of love, yeah, ooh

[Chorus]
Ghost rider
E.S.P.
The devil inside her
I don't want it to be
Ghost rider
E.S.P.
She's got the devil inside her

[Outro]
Oh, you can't
You can't fool me
No, no you can't
You can't fool me
No, you can't
Oh, the ghost rider
E.S.P.
Oh, paperback rider
No, you can't fool
Oh, no, you can't fool
