Strange ways

Strange

Strange I was born into confusion

My mother said to me

When you become a man you'll understand

But it's still a mystery And if you want to get ahead

Get some decent clothes

The only way to make it

Dress the part that gets right up my nose And I think to myself in this river of doubt

This is somethin' I can do without

But, strange ways is what I got

(Strange ways) The Indians are coming

I saw it on TV

They're twenty thousand strong

But they always get depleted by the cavalry Salvation is at hand

It's guaranteed

Just send a donation straight to God

One eight hundred, toll free And I think to myself in this academy of fear

Where am I going, what am I doing here?

But strange ways is all I got

(Strange ways) Aaa, aaa

Aaa, aaa

Aaa, aaa Have you seen the headlines?

(Princess engaged)

Three million out of work

But that's on the second page The alien has landed

Finger in his ear

Can't hear a word I am saying

But that ain't such a bad idea And I think to myself in this cradle of lust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

But strange ways is all you get

(Strange ways)
