The Stranger

The plane comes down behind enemy lines
The stars shine obscenely above you
You don't speak the language, but you've learned your lines
And you have a gift for making people love you

Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better
It feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all

You follow the river until you reach the top
Sleeping rough, getting closer to the target
The nights and days have murdered all, keeping you down
You dreaming like of all the things you'll have to forget

Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better
It feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all, yeah
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better
It feels better and better

There is a billboard by the station and behind it is the drop
You have one last thing you have to do, if you want all this to stop
Just remember who your friends are, keep in mind you are alone
Look inside the envelope, you are never going home

Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better
It feels better and better
Till you feel nothing at all
Now you're a stranger
Now it feels better
It feels better and better
