Victims

The victims we know so well

They shine in your eyes

When they kiss and tell

Strange places we never see

But you're always there

Like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you

Please don't do the things you do

When you do those things

Pull my puppet strings

Have the strangest void for you

We love and we never tell

What places our hearts

In the wishing well

Love leads us into the stream

And it's sink or swim

Like it's always been

And I keep on loving you

It's the only thing to do

When the angel sings

There are greater things

Can I give them all to you

Oh

Pull the strings of emotion

Take a ride into unknown pleasure

Feel like a child on a dark night

Wishing there was some kind of heaven

I could be warm with you, smiling

Hold out your hand for a while

The victims, we know them so well

So well

The victims we know so well

They shine in your eyes

When they kiss and tell

Strange places we never see

But you're always there

Like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you

Please don't do the things you do

When you do those things

Pull my puppet strings

Have the strangest void for you

Oh

Show my heart some devotion

Push aside those that whisper "never"

Feel like a child on a dark night

Wishing we could spend it together

I could be warm with you, smiling

Hold out your hand for a while

The victims, we know them so well

So well
