The Stranger

The plane comes down Behind enemy lines The stars shine obscenely above you You don't speak the language but You've learned your lines And you have a gift for making people love you

Now you're a stranger, Now it feels better, it feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all

You follow the river until you reach the top Sleeping rough getting closer to the target The nights and days have murdered all Keeping you down, you dreaming like Of all the things you'll have to forget

Now you're a strange, Now it feels better, it feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all Now you're a STRANGER, Now it feels better, it feels better and better

There is a billboard by the station And behind it is the drop You have one last thing you have to do If you want all this to stop Just remember who your friends are Keep in mind you are the lone Look inside the envelope, you're never going home

Now you're a stranger, Now it feels better, it feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all Now you're a stranger, Now it feels better, it feels better and better
