Lonely stranger, youve been running for ages

But from what, no one can be sure

Youve gotta stop turnin pages

Find a place to be pure

Lonely stranger, go forth and discover

Feelings buried in the black hole

And then you will recover

The lost part of your soul



Dont choose the prom queen, though shell cure the fear

She will hurt you without tryin

The best bet is the road without tears

Youve seen enough cryin

You are gettin no younger

Time to stop this charade

Your pain and your hunger

Drive you out of the shade



Lonely stranger, fight off all the sadness

Dont let happiness turn to pain

Forget all the madness

And come in from the rain



Lonely stranger, its all caught up with you now

You cannot run any longer

Its over somehow
