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

I 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



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

I have the strangest void for you



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 the so well
