STRANGERS LIKE ME
I been manipulated
I been hypnotized
Been emancipated
And psychoanalyzed
I’ve been schooled by morons
Ruled by thieves
You could fit on a pinhead
What the man believes
I been across the oceans
I been under the bed
I’ve hidden in the graveyard
To escape being dead
Seen some apparitions make your hair turn white
Found the light of day in the dark of night
And strangers like me
Strangers like me
Strangers like me
Ain’t that strange?
I heard the tongues of demons
I’ve seen the babies cry
And I have sipped martini’s on the rocks or dry
Been stuck in frozen weather
Rode on the coal black train
Seen my share of sorrows
Make a crazy man sane
And strangers like me
Strangers like me
Strangers like me
Ain’t that strange?
I wore those silk pajamas.
I wore a shameful grin.
I’ve been trying to crawl out of this trouble I’m in
I spent twenty long years watchin the big brass wheels
I know more than a man should about how love feels
And strangers like me
Strangers like me
Strangers like me
Ain’t that strange?
If you consider something
Something beyond your own
Like squeezing mercy from a cold hard stone
You can sure mislead me that’s .a guarantee
Or you might just forgive m
let me go scott free
Cuz strangers like me
Strangers like me
Strangers like me
Ain’t that strange?
