Tom Petty Strangered In The Night
Well, it was dark at midnight
There was hardly any moon
And no one really saw much
No one was really sure
But something didn't seem right
Something seemed kinda queer
The roar turned into whispers
Everyone stood there
When the sounds fit the night
Like it hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Well, I didn't see those shotguns
And I didn't see no knife
But I saw this crazy black guy
With a demon in his eyes
And I heard him say, "White man"
I've seen that silver cue
You don't remember me well
But I remember you
When the sounds fit the night
Like it hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Well, the knife just left his fingers
As the black guy took his aim
White guy's head exploded
My God, how he pained
And then everybody scattered
I heard some woman scream
"God damn you old black bastard
Well, you've blown away my dreams"
When the sound just fits the night
Like it hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
