Strangers When We Meet lyrics

You

You

You

You

You

You

All our friends

Now seem so thin and frail

Slinky secrets

Hotter than the sun

No peachy prayers

No trendy réchauffé

I'm with you

So I can't go on

All my violence raining tears upon the sheets

I'm bewildered, for we're strangers when we meet

Blank screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow

Forget my name

But I'm over you

Blended sunrise

And it's a dying world

Humming Rheingold

We scavenge up our clothes

All my violence raging tears upon the sheets

I'm resentful, for we're strangers when we meet

Cold tired fingers

Tapping out your memories

Halfway sadness

Dazzled by the new

Your embrace

It was all that I feared

That whirling room

We trade by vendu

Steely resolve is falling from me

My poor soul, poor bruised passivity

All your regrets ran rough-shod over me

I'm so glad that we're strangers when we meet

I'm so thankful, that we're strangers when we meet

I'm in clover, for we're strangers when we meet

Heel head over, but we're strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet
