an old lady helps me as I'm crossing the road  she sees the direction and the weight of my load  she points to a man taking peace to the poor  and a record is broken by the arm of the law     and you and I as we skate, pitch or ride  we seek our adventures in the places we hide  the pendulum dances, opinion poles swing  not to mention the meaning of contemporary things     we're chasing the feeling that our money can't buy  our pocket books empty but we're ready to try     on strange days everything is stranger  and don't I know nothing comes without danger  on strange days everything is stranger  don't I know nothing comes without danger     drowning not waving in a film title end  our mothers and fathers have postcards to send  we calculate the loss and unfortunate things  and the healthy economy that good warfare brings     we're chasing the feeling that our money can't buy  our pocket books empty but we're ready to try     on strange days everything is stranger  and don't I know nothing comes without danger  on strange days everything is stranger  don't I know nothing comes without danger
