The Stranger

The plane comes down behind enemy lines

The stars shine obscenely above you

You don't speak the language, but you've learned your lines

And you have a gift for making people love you

Now you're a stranger

Now it feels better

It feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all

You follow the river until you reach the top

Sleeping rough, getting closer to the target

The nights and days have murdered all, keeping you down

You dreaming like of all the things you'll have to forget

Now you're a stranger

Now it feels better

It feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all, yeah

Now you're a stranger

Now it feels better

It feels better and better

There is a billboard by the station and behind it is the drop

You have one last thing you have to do, if you want all this to stop

Just remember who your friends are, keep in mind you are alone

Look inside the envelope, you are never going home

Now you're a stranger

Now it feels better

It feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all

Now you're a stranger

Now it feels better

It feels better and better
