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 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 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 be 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
