Pink Ego Box/ Instant Messenger Lyrics

You've got post (only in Instant Messenger)

[Verse 1]
It's gonna be okay
Can’t afford another day
At 50 bytes per second
I’ve never seen your face
I’ve never heard your voice
But I think I like it

[Chorus]
When you instant message me
With a promise
I can feel it
I can tell you're gonna be
Just like me

[Verse 2]
My eyes are gonna strain
My heart is feeling pain
At 50 beats per second
I’ve never seen your eyes
I’ve never heard your lies
But I think I like it

[Chorus]
When you instant message me
With a promise
I can feel it
I can tell you're gonna be
Just like me
[Outro]
Be
Just like me
You turn
You turn
You turn on me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The original name of the song was Instant Messenger, which had included a short “You’ve got post!” sound byte, but due to legal pressure from AOL, Muse had renamed the song under a new moniker, Pink Ego Box. This song was originally on the Muscle Museum EP, however, later found itself on the single of Muscle Museum (CD 2) from Showbiz, and Muse’s Japanese-only release, Random 1-8.
