Verse - Here you'll find me in between
Heaven and hell my dear where nothings what it seems
It's just as well I fear I'm giving you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown
Saw you standing there
Outside the music hall, you come out for some air
Uncertain curtain call and everyone just stared
When you took the stage that night
Somethings not right
