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
While in the back of my mind I heat 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 his promises and dreams
Some people could sell 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 your 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
