3. A Lunatic's Lament (4:04)
[Intro]
If only you could see
If only you could see
You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of
If only you could see
If only you could see

[Verse 1]
Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes?
Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (Tonight)
It was your poison kiss that turned me into this
Then again there is a chance you could be mine tonight (Tonight)

[Chorus]
Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see
You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?

[Post-Chorus]
(Are you satisfied?)
(Are you satisfied?)

[Verse 2]
What fate has led me here? Oh, please forgive me dear
I don't know if I could survive on my own (My own)
I could have married you instead I buried you
Now we'll see if I can fall asleep alone (Alone)

[Chorus]
Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see
You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?

[Bridge]
(Are you satisfied?)
The nightmares coming true
(Are you satisfied?)
It was all for you
(Are you satisfied?)
I did it all for you
(Are you satisfied?)
I wish you could see
You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of

[Chorus]
Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars that disappear (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see
You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?

[Spoken:]
The depths of a man's soul can not be measured
In a manner of meters and fathoms
But rather it is, in my opinion
Only quantified by his proximity to heaven and hell
It was in such a state
That I ushered myself past the town tavern
Bursting at the seams with the sounds of laughter and drunken piano playing
Had it only been a different night, a different place
Or a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub
The events that transpired at that point would have undoubtedly been drastically different
I can only guess if anyone outside that place
Had a clue when those exclamations of mirth
Became the desperate screams of the helpless
Begging for their very lives
