The Stranger - Stars

The plane comes down

Behind enemy lines

The stars shine obscenely above you

You don’t speak the language but

You’ve learned your lines

And you have a gift for making people love you

Now you’re a stranger

Now it feels better, it feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all

You follow the river until you reach the top

Sleeping rough getting closer to the target

The nights and days have murdered all

Keeping you down, you dreaming like

Of all the things you’ll have to forget

Now you’re a stranger

Now it feels better, it feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all

Now you’re a stranger

Now it feels better, it feels better and better

There is a billboard by the station

And behind it is the drop

You have one last thing you have to do

If you want all this to stop

Just remember who your friends are

Keep in mind you are the lone

Look inside the envelope, you’re never going home

Now you’re a stranger

Now it feels better, it feels better and better

Till you feel nothing at all

Now you’re a stranger

Now it feels better, it feels better and better
