The Stranger

Lyrics

The plane comes down behind enemy lines The stars shine obscenely above you You don't speak the language, but you've learned your lines And you have a gift for making people love you Now you're a stranger Now it feels better It feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all You follow the river until you reach the top Sleeping rough, getting closer to the target The nights and days have murdered all, keeping you down You dreaming like of all the things you'll have to forget Now you're a stranger Now it feels better It feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all, yeah Now you're a stranger Now it feels better It feels better and better There is a billboard by the station and behind it is the drop You have one last thing you have to do, if you want all this to stop Just remember who your friends are, keep in mind you are alone Look inside the envelope, you are never going home Now you're a stranger Now it feels better It feels better and better Till you feel nothing at all Now you're a stranger Now it feels better It feels better and better
