Stranger In The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm turning my back on this life for as long as i can,
Someone make me star 'cause i sure as hell can't be a man,
I'm too fragile and clever you know
And this universe just leaves me cold
I'm just hanging around here, i'm longing for someone to hold
You always knew didn't you mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you mother
I was a stranger in this world
This dumb education was never quite part of my plan
So you left me to ruin but i'll always know who i am
I'm too fragile and clever you see
And your universe just leaves me cold
I'm just hanging around here, i'm longing for someone to hold
You always knew didn't you mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you mother
I was a stranger in this world
Whoever told you that these were the days of our lives?
The sweet boys they crumble, and the wicked ones rise and survive
And they're running our lives, yes they're running our lives
You always knew didn't you mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you mother,
I was a stranger in this world
On a clear day, i can see myself for miles
Oh mother, oh mother
On a clear day
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother...
