The Walkabouts - Ended Up A Stranger Lyrics
Cacophonous and slippery4:35 in the mornin'And I’m drivin'These streetsTryin' to capture every soundMy microphoneHangs out, the back seat windowAnd what I don't succeedIn capturin'Turns weightless and indifferentLord, I’ve become a stranger.... In my old hauntsBlips and bleepsAnd siren squallsThis town it just gets richerAnd it's teeth get clenchedAnd I am just a statueOf a long lost fearless ageOur maladiesOur strategiesThis microphoneMy wanderin's asideLord, I’ve become a stranger.... In my old hauntsHello desire'And what your spooky nameImpliesIn you, I found my silkAnd swagger,The calm before the prizeAnd though I,Once was warnedYou'd be the grave in which I’d lieWith you, I was no stranger.... In my old hauntsSomeday I’ll hit the turnpikeSpeed past a truck stopBurnin'It'll streak my rearview mirrorIt'll fade, a lonely flickerAnd I’ll listen to these tapes I’ve madeMy symphony of phantomsLord, I’ve ended up a stranger, in my old hauntsI've become a stranger.... In my old haunts
