There, there it is I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid Wait, I hear it again Don't turn on the lights until we Hear the way it ends Under peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Hey, I hope you know I'm taking all of this time with me when I go Shame, you're not to blame I'm the monster you created In your daddy's name Under peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Terror by night Liar by day Telling her secrets Won't take them away Under peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa
