Like a Stranger

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna find someone to love me
For who I am: a perfect star
So lay your head down and you'll feel me
An empty prayer shot to the heart
And remember when you hold me
I'm everything that you want and more
So if you find someone to love you
Like I can, that's what dogs are for

[Pre-Chorus]
To find you with no one there
I'll kiss you in the black light

[Chorus]
Will they still love you when you kiss the flame?
Take you to the border in the ocean rain?
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
I'll be your baby, I'll say anything
Be your baby, I'll say anything
To love you like a stranger
Love you like a stranger

[Verse 2]
I kissed you in the movies
With a bitter heart, a cynic's eye
And, yes, Jesus walked on water
And died with grace and made you mine
So lay your head down and you'll feel me
In an empty prayer, electric light
And if you find someone to love you
Remember me before it dies

[Pre-Chorus]
To find you with no one there
I'll kiss you in the black light
You'll wipe away all my tears
We'll shiver in the moonlight

[Chorus]
Will they still love you when you kiss the flame?
Take you to the border in the ocean rain?
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
Slip inside the wire when you know for sure
I'll be your baby, I'll say anything
Be your baby, I'll say anything
Love me like a stranger
Love me like a stranger

[Bridge]
So you say a prayer for the dying sun
From the car to the corner, your will be done
And here on earth, in little Tokyo
From the first street bridge to the neon glow
It's a suicide, claim to fame
Paid testimony and a brand new name
So you load the gun, here we go again
You're the face in the mirror, my favorite sin
But you want revenge from the Lord above
So the rain comes down, heavy like my love
So the rain comes down, heavy like my love
Heavy like my love, like my love

[Chorus]
Will they still love you when you kiss the flame?
Take you to the border in the ocean rain?
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
Slip inside the wire when you know for sure
Will they still love you when you kiss the flame?
Take you to the border in the ocean rain?
Turn into the fire but you know it hurts
I'll be your baby, I'll say anything
Be your baby, I'll say anything
I'll say anything
I'll say anything
Just love me like a stranger
Like a stranger

[Outro]
A stranger
(So you say a prayer for the dying sun
Your will be done)
A stranger (Uh)
(So you say a prayer for the dying sun
Your will be done)
