Elizabeth & The Catapult The Stranger
When did it start? When did it start to change?
When did I notice something was kinda strange?
You shuffle through the kitchen, staring off, sipping at your cup
Where lies the difference between you and the one I loved?
‘Cause I'm staring at the light but I'm seeing darkness
Staring at the light but I'm seeing darkness
Who's that taking my love hostage?
Who's that taking my love hostage?
Must be a stranger standing in your place
I can't recognize a single word that you say
It's all upside down
And I went to bed with a dozen roses
Went to bеd with a dozen roses
Woke up, thеy were dead and frozen
Woke up, they were dead and frozen
All the neighbors seemed to run away
What did you do to them? What did you say?
Straight from a stranger's mouth
You're not the anti-hero and this is not a film noir scene
Or so I'm meant to think, yeah or so I've been led to believe
But what's coming down the airwaves, yeah, the floorboards are shaking again
Who's flipping switches and who's stopping up this dam
‘Cause you're yelling at the tv like the box is listening
Just pass the chicken when you're done blowing up at me
‘Cause you're tossing in your sleep like a stranger in my dreams
What's the stranger look like? Are you lying right next to me?
‘Cause you don't need no encore
Keep holding your bouquet
I'm troubled by the worst of you my darling
‘Cause I'm staring at the light but I'm seeing darkness
Staring at the light but I'm seeing darkness
Who's that taking my love hostage?
Who's that taking my love hostage?
Must be a stranger standing in your place
I can't recognize a single word that you say
It's all upside down
And I went to bed with a dozen roses
Went to bed with a dozen roses
Woke up, they were dead and frozen
Woke up, they were dead and frozen
All the neighbors seemed to run away
What did you do to them? What did you say?
Straight from a stranger's mouth
