There's a little house in the countryside   a place to be when you need to hide   away from dull suburban skies   you feel alive yet you ask me why   -cos' strange is just a better place to be   yeah strange would be the safest place to be      there's a holy mirror with Venetian blinds   and a Persian rug for a test of time   you speak out loud to a Freudian mime   -Beware, my dear, she's a friend of mine   -cos' strange is just a better place to be   yeah strange would be the safest place to be      there's a motion picture of your innermost dream   and the weather forecast turn sonic obscene   when the soul presenter gets in between   go paint it black as a summer theme   -cos' strange is just a better place to be   yeah strange would be the safest place to be      Let me take you to and beyond the sky   you'll see the world through caleidoscope eyes   let me take you down and let me take you around   down the strange ways of your mind   yeah down the strange ways of the mind      The world is grey - a void of light   let's spin a ride from black to white   -that would be a place to be   that would be a place to be      There's always up and there's always down   let's go a state with sun inside   -that would be a place to be   that would be a place to be
