Lyrics
[Verse 1] There's a madman in the corner of your eye He likes to pry into your sunlight He wants to burst into the street with you and I A world of shadows and of rain [Pre-Chorus] He's seen what love is He wants to pay you back with guilt [Chorus] He lies to you; he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery, yeah He's got your chains of misery [Verse 2] There's a prophet in the gutter in the street He says, "You're damned!" and you believe him... He's got a vision, but it shines out through your eyes A world of hatred and fear... [Pre-Chorus] He's felt what love means He wants to pay you back with pain [Chorus] He lies to you; he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery He lies to you; he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery [Interlude] It's only love that holds the key To your heart... It's only love... [Guitar Solo: Dave Murray] [Chorus] He lies to you; he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery He lies to you; he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery
