So you´re trying to make connection, you heard whispers in the hall
She´ll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin´ ´cross the floor
Then you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door
Oh, yes it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
If you wanna dance on my face, you must tell me why you lied
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
And your peepshow regulations, they just don´t seem to apply,
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band
Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don´t lead me on,
If you wanna bleed in my face, you were here and now you´re gone
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
She´ll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin´ ´cross the floor
Then you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door
Oh, yes it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
If you wanna dance on my face, you must tell me why you lied
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
And your peepshow regulations, they just don´t seem to apply,
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band
Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don´t lead me on,
If you wanna bleed in my face, you were here and now you´re gone
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
I´ll go out of my mind, if I´m losing your touch
