Lyrics

[Intro] Dr. David, telephone please, Dr. David Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton [Nikki screaming and complaining to a nurse] [Verse 1] All alone now except for the memories Of what we had, and what we knew Every time I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me Looking back at me [Chorus] And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare [Verse 2] Is this all that's left of my life before me? Straight jacket memories, sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me [Chorus] And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Lies behind my stare [Guitar solo] [Pre-Chorus] How many times must I live this tragedy? How many more lies will they tell me? All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here, and for how long? [Chorus] And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare [Instrumental Bridge: Medley of "Operation: Mindcrime", "Speak", "Revolution Calling"] Revolution [Outro] I remember now
