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

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

Hey, I hope you know
I'm taking all this with me when I go
Shame, you're not to blame
I'm the monster you created in your daddy's name
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dream+theater/peruvian+skies+live_20960714.html ]
Under Peruvian skies, Vanessa regretfully waits
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
Terror by night, liar by day
Telling her secrets
Won't take them away

Under Peruvian skies, Vanessa regretfully waits
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
