DREAM THEATER lyrics - Peruvian Skies

(John Petrucci)



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

Poor Vanessa

Poor, poor Vanessa



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



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



Terror by night

Liar by day

Telling her secrets

Won't take them away



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
