Strangers Songtext
von Cletis Carr

Strangers come and strangers go
And I guess that′s strange enough
They say 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 pair
All around town and across the nation
It's an alarming situation
There's strangers everywhere

Strangers live on tree-lined 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 your dough and trade their bungalow
For big palatial residences

A stranger is a friend that we′ve never met
I read that on a bus
I couldn′t say who 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 pair
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
