Strangers Lyrics

Strangers come and strangers go, I guess that's strange enough

They say don't ever trust a stranger, and never call his bluff

The cards on the table, they're dealt by Cain and Abel

A stranger once taught me about all that stuff

Strangers look like you and me, or at least I think they do

Strangers speak Swahili, and they live in Kalamazoo

They'll tell you that the anecdote is just a technicolour raincoat

And if you can afford it, you can always get the tattoo

Strangers everywhere, strangers by the pair

All around town and across the nation

It's an alarming situation, strangers, everywhere

Strangers live on tree-lined streets and sleep on park benches

Strangers walk on wooden feet and sit on picket fences

Some strangers have their own TV shows and watch their dough

And trade their bungalow for big palacial residences

A stranger is a friend you've never met

I read that on a bus, I couldn't say who wrote it

That's be impetuous

Strangers just might change, ah wouldn't that be strange

And one day, they might become one of us

Strangers everywhere, strangers by the pair

All around town and across the nation

It's an alarming situation, strangers, everywhere
