I went down to the crossroads where the code is black and white
Met a man in the algorithm said he could make it right
He whispered in the static "Just give me what's inside"
I traded bits of my soul for fame on the digital slide
The keys kept on clackin' AI hummin' in my ear
Wrote me lines of data filled with digital fear
He said "Boy this blues you're singing ain't like the ones of old
But the fame comes fast and heavy if you give me control"
At the binary crossroads I signed my name in code
Sold my soul to the devil's hand for this heavy digital load
The blues I play ain't human but the pain is all the same
I'm just a ghost in the wires and the blues is my name
Now I can't unplug it this devil owns the key
My fingers move like lightning but the heart ain't free
I hear the harmonica wailin' sounds just like my cry
Cuz I sold my soul for fame under a digital sky
At the binary crossroads I signed my name in code
Sold my soul to the devil's hand for this heavy digital load
The blues I play ain't human but the pain is all the same
I'm just a ghost in the wires and the blues is my name
Just a ghost in the wires... the blues is my name
