[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Oh, you sad one
Playing the angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh, you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long (You won't stay satisfied for long)
(You won't stay satisfied for long)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(Failiure, don't...)
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Oh, you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh, you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
[Coda]
(Stay as you are, the darkest star)
(Stay as you are, silent for me, majestically)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't understand)
(I, I, I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
Oh, you sad one
Playing the angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh, you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long (You won't stay satisfied for long)
(You won't stay satisfied for long)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(Failiure, don't...)
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Oh, you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh, you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
[Coda]
(Stay as you are, the darkest star)
(Stay as you are, silent for me, majestically)
(I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't understand)
(I, I, I don't understand the failiure to..)
(I don't under... be someone else for me)
