There's a madman in the corner of
Your eye
He likes to pry into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street
With you and I
A world of shadows and of rain
He's seen what love is
He wants to pay you back with guiltHe lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of miseryThere's a prophet in the gutter
In the street
He say "You're damned!" and you believe him
He's got a vision but it shines out
Through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear
He's felt what love means
He wants to pay you back with painHe lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of miseryHe lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of miseryIt's only love that holds the key to
Your heart
It's only loveHe lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of miseryHe lies to you, he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery
