Lyrics
Lonely Stranger
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 must be invisible
No one knows me
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees
I was born with a ragin' thirst
A hunger to be free
But I've learned through the years
Don't encourage me
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here
Well, beyond my day
And I don't know what's goin' on
So I'll be on my way
When I walk, stay behind
Don't get close to me
'Cause it's sure to end in tears
So just let me be
Some will say that I'm no good
Maybe I agree
Take a look then walk away
That's all right with me
