By the river through cobwebbed crannies we crawl   Up against them all   Under bridges and over graffitied walls   We sin and fall   All our craving our midnight ravings our love affairs   Were born right there   I swear   I don't know how it started   Or if it's ever gonna end   But ever since we parted   I've had a feeling that is   Strange      From the dirty old dealer in his bivouac   To the meadow by the river off the beaten trac   With a pocket full of poison   We won't forget this one   To the bloody stained floors of the local casualty   With television eyes and a loss of dignity   To the boys in blue   What we gonna do   I don't   I don't know how it started   Or if it's ever gonna end   But ever since we parted   I've had a feeling that is   Strange, strange      We grew up with this every day   But the smiley faces helped us out, in a way   We got broken bones, sick on the floor   A bloke who thinks he's a matador in the way   In our way   We got silhouetted, caught light headed in the field   Where we lay   And I hope you're better mate 'cause I can't stop getting afraid   If you ok   We were by the river we've got cold steel legs and shivering heads   At the thought of how we're coming down   We're getting out of this town   I don't   I don't know how it started   Or if it's ever gonna end   But ever since we parted   I've had a feeling that is   Strange, strange
