Lonely Stranger lyrics

I must be invisible;

No one knows me.

I have crawled down dead-end streets

On my hands and knees.

I was born with a ragin' thirst,

A hunger to be free,

But I've learned through the years.

Don't encourage me.

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,

Well beyond my day.

And I don't know what's goin' on,

So I'll be on my way.

When I walk, stay behind;

Don't get close to me,

'Cause it's sure to end in tears,

So just let me be.

Some will say that I'm no good;

Maybe I agree.

Take a look then walk away.

That's all right with me.

[Chorus]
