Well you've got something on your mind
which isn't always the easiest thought to find
oh but the concept you pursue
wishing only that i knew
what you knew
i swear everywhere i go
i feel your presence there
as if to let me know
it's only my heart that you desire
wrapped in tears and cellophane
kisses and barbed wire
well i'm afraid to look
i can see you staring feel you set the hook
it's not that i don't find you beautiful at times
i'm not sure what you've heard
but perhaps you've misinterpreted my words
now that i decorate your shrine
valentine
your pleasure's mine
deluded by your constant dreaming
reality's a nightmare too
you've got me so afraid of sleeping
for fear that i might dream of you
all those darling things you say (all those darling things you say)
like "hey could you lend me your soul just for the day?"
and promise you'll give it back to me
once you've exorcised and set my spirit free
blaming the voices that you hear
on all the precious words i've whispered in your ear
I'm afraid to look
I can see you staring
feel you set the hook
it's not that i don't find you beautiful at times
not sure what you've heard
but perhaps you've misinterpreted my words
now that i decorate your shrine
valentine
concubine
your pleasure's mine
