All those years
Just a shadow
Of a ghost
Of a memory -- at most
And how you strayed -- an arrow
Where you go
Where you been?
Where you came

And this place too
This city I'm sick and tired
Am I -- the one that I forgot to love?
I'm losing
Filled with paranoia inside
Trust left with the loss of my pride
I say, "so long."
It's so strange, how a person can change a city's face
A person can change
A person can change a city's face
And the strangers I came to know
They're all strange now
All the strangers I came to know
They're all strange now
Strange now
Strange now
It's strange
