Lyrics

[Verse 1] At a bar on Forty Third at a quarter to two Met my friend the Chinese Elvis and hoisted a few He talks like Mickey Mouse And sees with X-ray eyes Lives in a cardboard house I almost gave him the prize [Chorus] 'Til you came along Thanks for opening my eyes Things you do, right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody Stranger than you Stranger than you [Verse 2] At Eighty Third and Amsterdam there's an Indian Jew Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw He sleeps on a bed of nails Which came from outer space And in my taller tales I gave him pride of place [Chorus] 'Til you came along Thanks for opening my eyes Things you do, right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody Stranger than you Stranger than you [Bridge] I'm not complaining even though I'm not sure what you are I've got the strangest feeling good about this love bizarre [Verse 3] I could have stayed in bed Hiding from this freaky show I'm happy that instead I knew just where to go [Chorus] When you came along Thanks for opening my eyes Things you do, right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody Stranger than you Stranger than you Stranger than you Stranger than you [Outro] Are you a boy? Are you a girl? Are you an oyster? Are you a pearl? Are you a fish? Are you a fowl? Are you an angel? Are you from hell? Stranger than you Stranger than you Stranger than you
