[Verse 1]
Every night, I dream the same old frightening nightmare
Calling out for answers no one can explain
Voices in the distance, cannot understand them
Faces look at me, they call out my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Back to reality, I realize it's the naked truth
See people stare at me
Can't you see that we went much too far?

[Chorus]
My dedication to the past, I'm gonna draw the line
(We went much too far)
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove

[Verse 2]
No chance to talk it over; this can't go on no longer
Can't you see the fact that we are worlds apart?
We go our separate ways, or hate is getting stronger
Last chapter in the act, two more broken hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
Your style is killing me, I hate the way you are
No step will we go on
Can't you see that we went much too far?
[Chorus]
My dedication to the past, I'm gonna draw the line
(We went much too far)
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove
(We went much too far)
There's no progression from the past, as time of life goes by
(We went much too far)
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove

[Solo]

[Chorus]
(We went much too far)
My dedication to the past, I'm gonna draw the line
(We went much too far)
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove
(We went much too far)
There's no progression from the past, as time of life goes by
(We went much too far)
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove

[Outro]
In a velvet glove
In a velvet glove
In a velvet glove
In a velvet glove...
