Hey, Stranger
Would you come in through my door
If not now I'll leave it ajar
And then maybe you could come back
I'll be waiting here for you
I'll be hoping here for you
I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's .....
When your pubic hair's on fire, something's wrong
When you think you're the Messiah, something's wrong
When you mistake a plane for Venus, something's wrong
When your girlfriend's got a penis
Something's wrong...
.....
There's something about this day
That feels a lot like yesterday
Everything looks the same:
The wall, the tv set
The way I move around myself to be
Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What .....
In your dreams, in your bed
In everyone and in your head
On the wall, it ain't white
In every letter that you write
In the way people talk
In the shape of stones and rocks
He's your hero, he's your god

Paul studied a lot
At least he pretended to
He had too much on his mind
It was too small

Right until you realize

I'm waiting for the bus to come
I'm lying on a bench
Thinking of a book I read
And wondering what it meant
I hear footsteps coming closer
It's an ordinary man
He comes up to me, shakes my hand
And asks me who I am
.....
Too many happy faces, I wonder what that means
Are you personally offended by an iron on your jeans
Too many happy faces, is that more than you can bear
Or is it part of what you should be, lack of hygiene in your hair
Oohooh... Oohooh...
Oohooh... .....
There's a reason so well hidden
Why I was torn apart from you
Like a song I've never written
Like a joke without a clue
No I don't want to close my eyes and think of you
How I'd like to get you back, but He won't let me
