Always the Stranger

You're leaving it late
Will you move, will you wait?
Of course, you'll wait

Where even the air can get you
And even the walls can get you
Yes, even their laughter gets you
And even their smiles destroy you
Here

You feel it as you feel it now
Your culture almost done
You see it as you see it now
A stranger on the run

You're leaving it late
Can you love, can you hate?
You know you can hate

Waiting for someone to tell you
'you did okay.'
Waiting for someone to want you - time-battered stray
Waiting for someone to tell you
You did okay

You feel it as you feel it now
Your culture almost done
You see it as you see it now
A stranger on the run

Always the stranger
