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
