Lonely stranger, you’ve been running for ages   But from what, no one can be sure   You’ve gotta stop turnin’ pages   Find a place to be pure   Lonely stranger, go forth and discover   Feelings buried in the black hole   And then you will recover   The lost part of your soul      Don’t choose the prom queen, though she’ll cure the fear   She will hurt you without tryin’   The best bet is the road without tears   You’ve seen enough cryin’   You are gettin’ no younger   Time to stop this charade   Your pain and your hunger   Drive you out of the shade      Lonely stranger, fight off all the sadness   Don’t let happiness turn to pain   Forget all the madness   And come in from the rain      Lonely stranger, it’s all caught up with you now   You cannot run any longer   It’s over somehow
