Chorus:  Look away, look away, I can't bear

         To be watching the love they are sharing

         There are too many years I must stay

         Every touch, every kiss is a knife in my heart

         Oh child, look away



1.  One never knows from beginnings at all

    Just what will be the ends

    Lost in the lives of my puppets

    Never quite touched by friends

    What I have made of my chances

    Seemed logical in that hour

    Choices will haunt forever

    No one has all the power



2.  Given a strange opportunity

    I chose the road to hell

    One who's been taken by fever

    Acts without thinking too well

    All of the strings I was pulling

    And all of the cages closed

    Left me alone in this wasteland

    Hidden and so exposed



3.  I will have all of eternity

    To regret what I have done

    Hours alone in this darkness

    And days full of torture and sun

    All of my memories dancing

    All the repentance that sings

    I am the puppetmaster

    Always without the strings
