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 (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 (Stranger than you) I'm not complaining even though I'm not sure what you are I've got the strangest feeling Good about this love bizarre I could have stayed in bed Hiding 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 (Stranger than you) Are you a boy? (Stranger than you) Are you a girl? (Stranger than you) Are you an oyster? (Stranger than you) Are you a pearl? (Stranger than you) Are you a fish? (Stranger than you) Are you a fowl? (Stranger than you) Are you an angel? (Stranger than you) Are you from hell? (Stranger than you) Are you a boy? (Stranger than you) Are you a girl? (Stranger than you) Are you an oyster? (Stranger than you) Are you a pearl? (Stranger than you) Are you a fish? (Stranger than you)
