Strays Lyrics
Who's car am I driving in?
You picked up a handful
I can't remember your name?
I always seem to get lost
But I'm always finding trouble
Oh, I'm always finding trouble
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
Get by on my personality
My name?
My name is baby
I'm camera ready, smiling and thrilled
A real a cooperator
Oh, I'm so cooperative
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
Ladies clink their glasses
Pretend to run off men
Sending out their signals
Into the night
Timing it right
No one listened to me back home
But your talking partners?
Like jumping in bed !?
The night is swelling off we go
Shoulder to shoulder
Man, you're pretty deep
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
This is my lucky day!
I'm just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!
You picked up a handful
I can't remember your name?
I always seem to get lost
But I'm always finding trouble
Oh, I'm always finding trouble
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
My name?
My name is baby
A real a cooperator
Oh, I'm so cooperative
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
Pretend to run off men
Sending out their signals
Into the night
Timing it right
But your talking partners?
Like jumping in bed !?
Shoulder to shoulder
Man, you're pretty deep
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
I'm just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!
Just a pick up stray!

I think in this song, Perry is talking about how easy it is to lose yourself in 'Hollywood Babylon' and that you quickly forget that you were a nobody, when everyone wants to fuck you.
The title is just him, talking about being a man-whore, like he is some stray puppy who ladies want to take home.
How the hell can this song have only one comment!? Amazing song, from an amazing album
Real music here, much better than the emo shit that's getting all the comments
What the hell, only two comments? Brutal song, I can say, the best album title song I've ever heard... Lotec's right! Screw you EMO's
