Stranger Than the Stranger on the Shore |
Acid casualties and angry young men |
The litmus test of a guitar and pen |
Revolve around date sheets lost lonely rooms |
And this is my home and I will leave soon |
For a house with a tower |
Where there’s visiting hours |
And the day leaves it’s taste on a spoon |
Stranger than the stranger |
Who walks by my bed |
Shares in my life |
Lives although dead |
Stranger than the stranger I am sure |
Stranger than the stranger on the shore |
The black eye of the camera bruised by my blush |
Leaves another chin and another hair cut |
The image in focus the shot aims to kill |
And I’m cropped at the waist as I run through the mill |
So I’m lost for an encore |
The kodachrome wants more |
Now I’m snapped with my head in the still |
Stranger than the stranger |
Who walks by my bed |
Shares in my life |
Lives although dead |
Stranger than the stranger I am sure |
Stranger than the stranger on the shore |
The contract’s been signed with a stroke of my blood |
I’m drowned by the name that sinks in the mud |
Thrown from emotion to swim back to the shore |
Where the sound of a drum beats time to applause |
Now my life’s in danger |
Of ending up stranger |
Than the stranger who walked on the shore |
Stranger than the stranger |
Who walks by my bed |
Shares in my life |
Lives although dead |
Stranger than the stranger I am sure |
Stranger than the stranger on the shore |
