The Eternal Stranger

Day after day, mile after mile
Another year without a smile
The last caress? It's been a while
Saw rooms and roofs with broken tiles
It never rains but always pours
There have been ladies, also wh... bores
So, how is life behind slammed doors?

Mile after mile, year after year
I have been sowing seeds of fear
I saw them growing, they appeared
To spread as fast as bad ideas
There are some beasts that can't be tamed
It never changes, stays the same
Saw people leaving, when I came

I'm marching past
I'm marching past
I love it so, when you all look at me, aghast
Marching past
Marching past
When will we all march to a different drum at last?
I'm passing by
I'm passing by
I'm the eternal stranger till the day I die
Passing by
Passing by
I make your children weep, and even you will cry

My presence makes you all steer clear
So many songs you cannot hear
I'm striding on a trail of tears
Come follow me, I'll pioneer
As the black crow flies, dead straight
I'm sowing angst and reap the hate
Oh, I can see, you cannot wait

I'm marching past
I'm marching past
I love it so, when you all look at me, aghast
Marching past
Marching past
When will we all march to a different drum at last?
I'm passing by
I'm passing by
I'm the eternal stranger till the day I die
Passing by
Passing by
I children weep, and even you will cry

I'm marching past
I'm marching past
I love it so, when you all look at me, aghast
Marching past
Marching past
When will we all march to a different drum at last?
I'm passing by
I'm passing by
I'm the eternal stranger till the day I die
Passing by
Passing by
I children weep, and even you will cry

Don't stare at me, because I've got the evil eye

I'm the eternal stranger till the day I die
