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
