Strangers Of The Night

Lyrics

We're strangers of the night Looking at each other in the window light You say: "Let's go this way tonight" The city turns The city burns And I am in the back of the car The city turns The city burns And I don't know where you are Strangers of the night Looking at each other in the window light You say: "Let's go this way tonight" Slowly the light changes Window to window Your hand is cupping the light of a match Printed roses on your dress Dark and light in the folds of clothings Body is Braille Body is Braille A wagon full of big-eyed cattle Boys with potato-faces Girls with red hands My head is rolling full of ocean She's a pet bird She's a pet bird to be proud of (Julie) You lack leadership qualities A white steamer stuck in the afternoon He told us to double back Double back Double back Random birds in small backyards Catching the morning ferry A dark curtain of rain Body is Braille Body is Braille A dark curtain of rain A dark curtain of rain A dark curtain of rain Your hand is cupping the light of a match A telephone rings An aeroplane flies We are catching the morning ferry In a dark curtain of rain
