Good friends and I'm a stranger

So hard to circulate

Crowded streets, I see no faces

No place for a changing soul

Like a ship on an angry ocean

Ferris wheel that spins too fast

For a dog, snarling in a corner

Heaven never seemed so far away



Maybe the game is someone else's

Too tired to play along

Go on your way takin' chances

Your way is yours alone

For an artist in a hungry basement

Or a rain on a lonely man

Or a kid, fightin' with his father

Heaven never seemed so far away



Good friends and I'm a stranger

So hard to circulate

Crowded streets, I see no faces

No place for a changing soul

Like a ship on an angry ocean

Ferris wheel that spins too fast

For a dog, snarling in a corner

Heaven never seemed so far away
