[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
Poor, poor Vanessa
[Verse 2]
Hey, I hope you know
I'm taking all of this with me when I go
Shame, you're not to blame
I'm the monster you created in your daddy's name
[Chorus]
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
Poor Vanessa
[Bridge]
Terror by night, liar by day
Telling her secrets won't take them away
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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
