I've seen the stranger walk past,
The lamp post that lights my way.
I've seen the stranger walk past
I'm not walking over there today
I know who he is, And I've heard what he can do.
I see him walkin' round' all over the place
In a crowd or alone it seems he's hiding his face,
He is down to the bone, he has a shoe with no lace.
I believe that I will try to stay as far away,
From the last surviving stray.
He gets his way with a knife, its just a day in the life,
Of a stranger we all know so very well.
I've seen the stranger walk past
The looking glass that hangs on my wall.
Yes I've seen the stranger walk past,
I used to know the guy when he had it all,
Family and friends, sorry to see that end.
I see him walkin' round' all over the place
In a crowd or alone it seems he's hiding his face,
He is down to the bone, he has a shoe with no lace.
I believe that I will try to stay as far away,
From the last surviving stray,
He gets his way with a knife, its just a day in the life,
Of a stranger we all know so very well.
