stranger than you şarkı sözü

at a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
met my friend the chinese elvis and hoisted a few
he talks like mickey mouse
and sees with x-ray eyes
lives in a cardboard house
i almost gave him the prize

until you
came along - thanks for opening my eyes
things you do - right or wrong
it should come as no surprise
when you live in a town where there´s always somebody
stranger than you

at 83rd and amsterdam there´s an indian jew
who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw
he sleeps on a bed of nails
which came from outer space
and in my taller tales
i gave him pride of place

until you
came along - thanks for opening my eyes
things you do - right or wrong
it should come as no surprise
when you live in a town where there´s always somebody stranger than you
stranger than you

i´m not complaining even though i´m not sure what you are
i´ve got the strangest feeling (good) about this love bizarre

i could have stayed in bed
h iding from this freaky show
i´m happy that instead
i knew just where to go

when you came along - thanks for opening my eyes
things you do - right or wrong
it should come as no surprise
when you live in a town where there´s always somebody
stranger than you

are you a boy - are you a girl
are you an oyster - are you a pearl
are you a fish - are you a fowl?
are you an angel - are you from hell
