Lyrics

Stranger in Moscow - Live from Auckland 1996

[Michael Jackson]

I was wanderin' in the rain

(Mask of life, feelin' insane)

Swift and sudden fall from grace

(Sunny days seem far away)

Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me

(Stalin's tomb won't let me be)

On and on and on, it came

(Wish the rain would just let me)

How does it feel (How does it feel?)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone and you're cold inside?

Here, abandoned in my fame

(Armageddon of the brain)

KGB was doggin' me (Hee)

(Take my name and just let me be)

Then a beggar boy called my name (Hee)

(Happy days will drown the pain)

On and on and on, it came and the rain and again and again

(Take my name and just let me)

How does it feel (How does it feel?)

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel (How does it feel now?)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone and you're cold inside?

[Dance break]

Привет, Michael

How does it feel (How does it feel?)

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel

How does it feel (How does it feel now?)

How does it feel

How does it feel

When you're alone and you're cold inside?

Like a stranger in Moscow

Lord, have mercy

Like a stranger in Moscow (Hee)

Lord, have mercy

We're talkin' danger

We're talkin' danger, baby

Like a stranger in Moscow

We're talkin' danger

We're talkin' danger, baby

Like a stranger in Moscow

I'm livin' lonely

I'm livin' lonely, baby

Stranger in Moscow

[Dance break]
