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...
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
