Stranger

[Backwards]

You're playing me backwards

[Verse 1]

On a cold and windy morning

I said goodbye to my old friends

They were hanging 'round the corner

They were staying 'til the end, 'til the end

On the other side of midnight

I was looking for a place to stay

And one thing's sure for certain

I ain't never going back again, no more

(These strangers)

[Verse 2]

The streetlights looked so pretty

As they spread into a town

I was looking for another sundown

And my head was spinning round and round, round and round

[Chorus]

Looking through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Looking through the eyes of danger

Looking at the all-night dancers

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never taking all of the chances of a stranger (Stranger)

[Verse 3]

As I walked into the main street

I saw a crowd across the square

And I heard a guitar playing

And I saw you standing there, standing there

[Chorus]

Looking through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Looking through the eyes of danger

Looking at the all-night dancers

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never taking all of the chances of a stranger

[Verse 4]

Distant bells, they started ringing

Somewhere far-off in the night

And the place was full of loneliness

That disappeared from sight, ooh

[Chorus]

Looking through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Looking through the eyes of danger

Looking at the all-night dancers

(I'm looking through the eyes)

Never taking all of the chances of a stranger

(Looking through the eyes of a stranger)

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

I ain't never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back

Never going back
