Strangers come and strangers go,
and I guess that's strange enough.
They say you don't ever trust a stranger,
never call his bluff.
The cards on his table,
well,
they're dealt by Cain and Abel.
You see,
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 tell you that the antidote is just a technicolor raincoat.
Well,
if you can afford it,
you can always get the tattoo.
Strangers everywhere,
strangers by the pier,
all around town and across the nation.
It's an alarming situation,
there's strangers everywhere.
Strangers live on treeline streets and sleep on park benches.
Strangers walk on wooden feet and they sit on picket fences.
Some strangers have their own TV shows and
watch it dough and trade their bungalow for
big palatial residences.
Stranger is a friend that we've never met.
I read that on a bus, I couldn't say I wrote it,
that'd be impetuous.
Strangers just might change,
ah,
now wouldn't that be strange?
And one day they might become one of us.
Strangers everywhere,
strangers by the pier,
all around town and across the nation.
It's an alarming situation,
there's strangers everywhere.
All around town and across the nation.
It's an alarming situation,
there's strangers everywhere.
