He's a perfect stranger   Like a cross of himself and a fox   He's a feeling arranger   And a changer of the ways he talk   He's the unforeseen danger   The keeper of the key to the lock      Know when you see him   Nothing can free him   Step aside, open wide   He's the loner      If you see him in the subway   He'll be down at the end of the car   Watching you move   Until he knows he knows who you are   When you get off at your station alone   He'll know that you are      Know when you see him   Nothing can free him   Step aside, open wide   He's the loner      There was a woman he knew   About a year or so ago   She had somethin' that he needed   And he pleaded with her, "Please don't go"   On the day that she left   He died, but it did not show      Know when you see him   Nothing can free him   Step aside, open wide   He's the loner      Know when you see him   Nothing can free him   Step aside, open wide   He's the loner
