Welcome Stranger - Washington

So, the way that these things go often finds me singing in my pillow

And the way that these things are often finds me crying in the car

And, my love it is as wide as my jealousy is bitter and cruel

But it feels like someone died

You are still pretending you’re not telling any lies

I am still pretending I believe you

But this is just a business, and I don’t feel any pain

Just as long as no one says your name

All the years of being broke, all the spit & all the smoke

& all the fucking, all the drugs, all the love

Was not enough

You take my guts, I’ll take the car

Welcome, stranger — here you are

Never seen your face before

Welcome, stranger

Nice to meet you

You are still pretending you’re not telling any lies

I am still pretending I believe you

But this is just a business, and I don’t feel any pain

Just as long as no one says your name

Just as long as no one
