Who's that sleeping under the porch
Have you seen him before?
You don't mind him sleeping out there
But when he comes near the door
You say
Go away
Go away you ugly stray
Go away
Go away you ugly stray
And he walks away
To a quiet place
Where no-one's above you
I said leave him alone
Everybody needs a home
And where would you be
If nobody loved you?
Sleeping in backyards
Passing time by the river
Riding in strange cars
Stay awake 'til you can see the lines
Wake up
The dream is fading
Are you sure?
That weren't no dream
For objects in the mirror
Are farther than they may seem
Go away
Go away you ugly stray
Go away
Go away you ugly stray
And he walks away
To make our final arrangements on the payphone
Blowing this old town
Got a one way ticket down
With no ground below
And no sky above you
Sleeping in backyards
Passing time by the river
Riding in strange cars
Stay awake 'til you can see the lines
