Strange Kind of Love Lyrics

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 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
Strange kind of love
Leaves me so alone

In every second car that passes there's a man like him
At ease in the world of television, 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 lines beneath my eyes
She bathes me with pity

I could never be your friend
If I could never by 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

It's a strange kind of love
A strange kind of love
It's a strange kind of love
Keeps me hanging on

(I hear the devil sing)
