She's like a mermaid

Locked in the dungeon of a sunken ship

She thinks she's happy

Though she's been drawn in by shallow things



She closes her eyes

And he keeps all the treasure he finds

In the back of my mind

I hear the devil sing



It's a strange kind of love

A strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

That keeps me hanging on



She sees the future

Built on promises and dreams

Some people

Could see you anything



Angel,

Don't let him clip your wings

He may give you what he has

But I'd give you anything



It's a strange kind of love

A strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

That leaves me so alone



In every second car that passes there's a man like him

At ease in the world of television and magazines

Trampled and broken;

What once was a timeless thing

In the heart of the night

I feel the Winter sting



It's a strange kind of love

A strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

That keeps me hoping still



She's written my story

For the whole world to see

In the lines beneath my eyes

She bathes me with pity



I could never be your friend

If I could never by you King

I'm wide open

Can you hear the devil sing?



It's a strange kind of love

A strange kind of love

It's a strange kind of love

That keeps me hanging on



I hear the devil sing
