The streets all run empty
Men stay in their houses
There’s fear in their eyes
As they watch the sky
The churchbells are ringing
The women are praying
Their hands start to shake
As they mutter the words
The ultimate stranger arrived yesterday
He says there’s danger coming our way
The pace has been broken
And panic rides high
No time now for laughter
‘Cause the end is nearby
New soldiers are marching
But there are no battles
No enemy is
Waiting for them
The ultimate stranger arrived yesterday
He says there’s danger coming our way
Could there be danger coming our way
Why should there be danger coming our way
But nothing has happened
The streets all run crowded
The churchbells are silent
As the soldiers disappear
So life gets back normal
In spite of the warnings
By prophets and priests
For the end of the world
No ultimate stranger must tell us today
That there’s danger coming our way
