[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore]
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside?
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts that have taken control

[Chorus 1: Martin L. Gore]
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
The child inside away

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore]
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside

[Chorus 2: Martin L. Gore]
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
I can see you drifting away
Hеading for the light
I can see you drifting away
Every night
[Verse 3: Martin L. Gore]
Why werе you always inside?
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
Well you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
