Stranger Lyrics
I said "Hey brown girl I seen tears through the window of the junk shop
downtown"
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down?
I said "hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me"
"Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from
me?"
Sometimes I feel like a stranger, I feel like a stranger
I'm just another face in a faceless crowd, I'm just another king in a headless
crown
I'm so alone. Y'know I live here in this city, but this place it just ain't
nobody's home
Now how many times do I got to tell you?
There's no such thing as a man made world
Now how many times do I got to tell you?
There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl
Sometimes I feel like stranger, and I feel even stranger
I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had another chance
You see, I got a happy family, but that's oh so far away
You see, I've got it all here inside me, but I just can't seem to get it out
But I know with a little imagination we can work this whole goddamn thing out
Oh don't make me feel so strange, and I feel even stranger
Great song. One of the few early Soul Asylum songs that sounds as good from the studio as live. Heck, it might be the only one....
I love how Pirner sings "Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down?"
I love this song....
By far one of Daves best lyrics. Soul Asylum were so far ahead of their time. Anyone who thinks they started in 93 with Runaway Train need to pick up there albums that they had been putting out since 1981!!!!!!
