Dream Theater › Lyrics › Peruvian Skies

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
Story unfolds in her eyes, 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 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
Story unfolds in her eyes, 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, the midnight hysteria's no big surprise
Battered and bruised always confusing the love that she's losing for hate
