Lyrics
I said hey brown girl, I've seen your tears through the window of the junkshop downtown
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the promised land let you down?
I said now 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?
Oh, you know, sometimes I feel like a stranger
I feel like a stranger
(He, he, he, he)
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 ya
There's no such thing as a man made world?
And how many times do I got to tell you
There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl?
Sometimes I feel like stranger
I feel like a stranger
I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had a mother
You see I… I've 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, I feel like a stranger
