Strangeways Lyrics
Strangeways
Strange, strange
I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
'When you become a man you'll understand'
But it's still a mystery
'And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part'
That gets right up my nose
And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without
But strangeways is what I got
The indians are coming Isaw it on tv
They're 20,000 strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
1-800 toll free
And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going what am I doing here
But strangeways is all I got
Have you seen the headlines
Princess engaged
3 million out of work
But that's on the 2nd page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I am saying
But that ain't such a bad idea
And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get
Strange, strange
My mother said to me
'When you become a man you'll understand'
But it's still a mystery
'And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part'
That gets right up my nose
This is something I can do without
But strangeways is what I got
They're 20,000 strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
1-800 toll free
Where am I going what am I doing here
But strangeways is all I got
Princess engaged
3 million out of work
But that's on the 2nd page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I am saying
But that ain't such a bad idea
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get
