Stranger A man that you must learn to hate He takes the gravy from your plate Without a word that's out of place Lies black and white straight to your face Stranger from a strange land An empty smile That might mislead you for a while The gentle words with which he speaks And silent tears he sometimes weeps All bear the traitor's mark and keep You lost in verbal hide and seek Stranger from a strange land An empty smile That might mislead you for a while The "lover's eyes" Where only coldness lies Betrays no sign Of the poison in his mind
No matter what he says he feels (Or what your feelings say) You'll never find out what is real (But does it matter anyway) Stranger from a strange land Can you find out the truth - it's near you (It might mislead you for a while) Stranger from a strange land An empty smile That might mislead you for a while Stranger from a strange land Can you see through the lie? Do you know who is who? (It might mislead you for a while) Stranger from a strange land An empty smile That might mislead you for a while
