She was the centre of a tension He felt within the room He arrived too late She liked to leave too soon In the background of a photo Was as close as he ever came Caught in the cross fire The harsh lights of her fame Living with the stories Most of them were lies Devils in the picture Often wear another guise Some things can fall apart If you think about them too much But it's never reassuring When she shudders at his touch Chorus: Into the darkness It's full steam ahead Moving together Just like she said They can change Or a new love devise But sometimes at night She cries They might start out on the couch And end up on the floor But there's always some feeling He's just knocking at her door Sometimes he'll try to talk To find what she's running from She'll dismiss him with that smile It doesn't matter anymore Chorus: Into the darkness It's full steam ahead Moving together Just like she said They can change Or a new love devise But sometimes at night She cries Bridge: Who is the woman here Sleeping in this haunted bed What are those troubled dreams Slipping through her head Is he supposed to be the cure Is he wrapped up with the cause Or is he something that she's taken To cover up some flaws A photo session in the lounge The clothes strewn across her home The mysteries of this house Are dying way too slow He deserves an explanation Wouldn't they all like to know Her trust is slowly won Love's a flower she finds hard to grow Chorus: Into the darkness It's full steam ahead Moving together Just like she said They can change Or a new love devise But sometimes at night She cries
