Paroles de Stranger Than You

At a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
Met my friend the Chinese Elvis and hoisted a few
He talks like Mickey Mouse
And sees with x-ray eyes
Lives in a cardboard house
I almost gave him the prize

Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you

At 83rd and Amsterdam there's an Indian Jew
Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw
He sleeps on a bed of nails
Which came from outer space
And in my taller tales
I gave him pride of place

Until you
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody stranger than you
I could have stayed in bed
H iding from this freaky show
I'm happy that instead
I knew just where to go

When you came along - thanks for opening my eyes
Things you do - right or wrong
It should come as no surprise
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
Stranger than you

Are you a boy - are you a girl
Are you an oyster - are you a pearl
Are you a fish - are you a fowl?
Are you an angel - are you from hell
