Strange Times

[Verse 1]
Well I've been waking up at night
Hearing these sounds in the sky
It's like they screeching into heaven
This long cold cry
I couldn't tell you what it was
But I know that it ain't right
And it keeps getting louder
Every night

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, strange times

[Verse 2]
Well she said, "Come, let's take a picture
And let's do another line
And we can talk about all that shit
Some other time
There's a lot of girls here, Mike
And I know you like them girls
And they could all use some love
In this cold, cold world, look around"

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, strange times

[Verse 3]
Well some punk said, "Earth the new Rome
And this bitch is going down
You better know someone at NASA
If you think you're gonna skip town
And I surely doubt you do
So you might as well enjoy
All the food and all the drugs
And all the girls and all the toys"

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, strange times

[Verse 4]
Well some gumper overheard us
Said, "Boy, you better get right
'Cause they be coming down La Brea
Anyone of these nights
If you wanna be saved
Well you can come with me at night
And we'll both be forgiven
For doing all these lines"

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, strange times

[Verse 5]
Some kid said, "Cocaine, church
It's all the same to me
They cut down the love
And then they jack up the fee"
Well he can't be coming back
'Cause he never did leave
The second coming is a coming
But it's you and it's me

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, strange times
