Lyrics Stranger - Paul Simon, Nico Segal

Stranger

Milwaukee man
Led a fairly decent life
Made a fairly decent living
Had a fairly decent wife
She killed him
Ah… sushi knife
Now they’re shopping for a fairly decent afterlife
The werewolf is coming
The fact is
Most obits are mixed reviews
Life is a lottery a lot of people lose
And the winners, the grinners
With money colored eyes
Eat all the nuggets
Then order extra fries
The werewolf is coming, ya know?
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf is coming
Yes, the werewolf is coming, Joe
Still, the werewolf is coming
Yeah, the werewolf is coming
I’m not complaining
Just the opposite, my friend
I know it’s raining, but we’re coming to the end
Of the rainbow
The lion and the spying are through
Oh, you don’t know me?
Okay, I don’t know you, too
I hear a howl and prowlin' on the hill
The werewolf’s coming, Bill
The werewolf’s coming and
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf is coming, Joe
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf’s coming, ya know
The werewolf’s coming and
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf is coming, Joe
The doorbell’s ringing
Could be the elves
But it’s probably the werewolf
It’s quarterly twelve
It’s midnight
And the wolf bites
It’s a full moon
She really got the appetite
I hear a howl and prowlin' on the hill
The werewolf’s coming, Bill
The werewolf’s coming and
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf is coming, Joe
The werewolf’s coming
The werewolf’s coming, ya know
