lyrics

6/ Stranger [ES]

I feel so out of place
Feel just like I’m driftin’ in space
It’s written all over my face
I feel so out of place
What makes most people feel happy don’t make no sense to me
What makes most people feel happy don’t make no sense

Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight
This is no place I can stay
Won’t you help me find my way
Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight

Feel like a stranger
Stranger in a strange land
Feel like a stranger
When I walk out my front door

Now there is no question
We’ve been going in the wrong direction
Let poetry be our protection
Cause I don’t feel no connection
To this pack of wild dogs
This swarm of angry bees
This mean old world
gonna bring you to your knees

Feel like a stranger
Stranger in a strange land
Feel like a stranger
When I walk out my front door

Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight
Back to someplace I belong
Won’t have to sing no lonesome song
Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight

Won’t you take these idle hands and put me in the angel band
There’s not much around here
I would miss
Won’t you take this strange desire and let me stand up with the choir
I know I was meant to be
more than this

Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight
Won’t you open up the door
I can’t stay out here no more
Oh I wanna go home
Wanna go back home tonight
