Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

When you do those things

Pull my puppet strings

Have the strangest void for you

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

When the angel sings

There are greater things

Can I give them all to you

Oh

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

I could be warm with you, smiling

Hold out your hand for a while

The victims, we know them so well

So well

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

When you do those things

Pull my puppet strings

Have the strangest void for you

Oh

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

I could be warm with you, smiling

Hold out your hand for a while

The victims, we know them so well

So well
