The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you
We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can I give them all to you
Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well...
The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you
Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there were some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well, so well...
He's the mannequin of your dreams
You designed him
Nothing will stand in your way
A punch in the heart won't tear him apart
Neither will the things they say
'Cause he's a beggar, lover,believer
You are just an innocent reader
He's the mannequin of your dreams
Step inside him
Look at the world his way
Laughter is loud from the fool in the crowd
You'll crack his smile one day
Every dream must follow where we go
Don't let them shatter your ego
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
I gave you every bit of my time
You lied and you committed a crime
To present my feelings
With shallow meanings
How could you tear me apart?
I asked you, listen to what I'm telling you
He's the mannequin of your dreams
You denied him
Laughter and political sway
People are sweet
But the primitive beat
Is always getting in my way
I can give you nothing but me though
It isn't what you want to see, oh
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
