Strange

 

Strange

 

I was born into

Confusion

My mother said to me when you

Become a man you'll understand

 

But it's still a mystery

 

And if you want to get ahead

Get some decent clothes

Dress the part

That gets right up my nose

 

And it think to myself in this river of doubt

 

This is something i can do without

 

But strangeways is what i got

They're 20 000 strong

 

But they always get depleted by the cavalry

 

Salvation is at hand it's guaranteed

 

Just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free

 

And i think to myself in this academy of fear

 

Where am i going what am i doing here

But strangeways is all i got

 

Have you seen the headlines

Princess engaged

 

3 million out of work

But that's on the 2nd page

 

The alien has landed

 

Finger in his ear

 

Can't hear a word i am saying

But that ain't such a bad idea

 

And i think to myself in this cradle of

Lust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

 

But strangeways is all you

Get
