The 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.
The plane comes down
Behind enemy lines
The stars shine obscenely above you
You don't speak the language but
You've learned your lines
And you have a gift for making people love you
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
You follow the river until you reach the top
Sleeping rough getting closer to the target
The nights and days have murdered all
Keeping you down, you dreaming like
Of all the things you'll have to forget
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
There is a billboard by the station
And behind it is the drop
You have one last thing you have to do
If you want all this to stop
Just remember who your friends are
Keep in mind you are the lone
Look inside the envelope, you're never going home
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better, it feels better and better
