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 guilt

He 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 your key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of misery

There's a prophet in the gutter in the street
He says: 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 felt what love means
He wants to pay you back with pain

He 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 your key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of misery

He 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 your key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of misery

It's only lovethat holds the key to our hearts
It's only love

He 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 your key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of misery

He 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 your key
He holds your chains of misery
He's got your chains of misery
