Torture
It was on a street so evil,
So bad that even Hell disowned it.
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it.
Eyes within the dark were watching;
I felt the sudden chill of danger.
Something told me, "Keep on walking,"
Told me I should not have gone there.
Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life.
Alone I walk in the night,
'Cause I just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture...
She was up the stairs to nowhere,
The room forever I'll remember.
She stared as though I should've known her.
"Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you're after.
Loneliness or hearts of fire,
I am here to serve all masters."
She said, "Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture..."
And I still can't find the meaning (no no)
Of the face I keep on seeing.
Was she real, or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name
Turn a wheel, strike a flame in me?
She said, "Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture..."
So bad that even Hell disowned it.
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it.
Eyes within the dark were watching;
I felt the sudden chill of danger.
Something told me, "Keep on walking,"
Told me I should not have gone there.
Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life.
Alone I walk in the night,
'Cause I just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture...
She was up the stairs to nowhere,
The room forever I'll remember.
She stared as though I should've known her.
"Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you're after.
Loneliness or hearts of fire,
I am here to serve all masters."
She said, "Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture..."
And I still can't find the meaning (no no)
Of the face I keep on seeing.
Was she real, or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name
Turn a wheel, strike a flame in me?
She said, "Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture..."
