Lyrics

Stranger Into Starman

[Verse 1] I turned Stranger into Starman In the Sunday New York Times Like Anne Sexton with her star rats Working backwards till it rhymes [Chorus] For the love of God you can't tell me again For the love of God you can't tell me again [Verse 2] With a pencil and eraser I've rewritten all your crimes I turned Stranger into Starman In the Sunday New York Times
