Stranger’s March

It's been so long that I forgot what to do at first
Nothing's coming back to me
It's only getting worse

I can only think of lines I've heard on TV
Only know the people that are put in front of me

I'll meet your eye and shake your hand
And I'll try to say something we both will understand

I've no protection from the fear
Gets to everyone
It isn't all that comforting
I'm not the only one

Strangers march in silhouette
The missing friend that ain't found yet
And everybody says they're bored to death
While the weeks go by through a neon sign
And I'm always looking, all the time

Stiff and sore from all the work it takes to repair
Reckless damage, side by side
Time to compare

I can't believe the same old story coming out of my mouth
Give yourself all of the glory of a tire blowing out
Adding up the pointless scoring
Another shot below the belt
It's all the same, it's getting boring
Missing love you never felt

Wait all night to take effect
Something that I missed
'Cause what I need, I still don't have
Don't even know what it is

I'll meet your eye and shake your hand
And I'll try to say something we both will understand
