Dangerous Stranger - Be Bop Deluxe

It’s after midnight in the city of broken dreams

Down in the alley, Galileo meets his pack of thieves

Over the river by the old hotel

There’s a big car coming like a bat out of Hell

It’s the dangerous stranger in his ghostly limousine.

You get the feeling that he’s running in an endless race

Driving through the city like a razor across its face

Stops on the corner in a flash of flame

He calls to me ('Hey boy, what’s your name ?')

He’s the stranger with a danger if you ever get to play his game.

I want to go for a ride

To see what lies on the other side

I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.

I climb right in, like a fool I say I’ll go I listen to the messages comin' through his radio

Is that my name on channel 9?

They say

('You're going away for a long long time')

With the dangerous stranger from a station on the other side.

I want to go for a ride

To see what lies on the other side

I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.

The night is black and the stars no longer burn

The radio says that we’re past the point of no return

I scream at the driver but he says

('No way, you shouldn’t have come if you didn’t want to stay')

He’s the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time

He’s the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time.
