I wish I had a penny   For every time I told her I loved her   But that sincerity I know won't raise the fare   She was born with a wanderlust   And against the odds she made the grade   Now out of sight is out of mind to her   I'm scared...   It's a big bad big bad dead end world      If I close my eyes I can't forget you, stranger   In my sleep I see you dancing into danger      Mister don't shoot her   You can't see the whites for the reds of her eyes   Maybe she's been crying over me   While you're lying over her      Talk of us is words in perfect tenses   It seems that action men have broke down your defences      We're passing strangers   But your leaving left me wondering why   These times have changed us   Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world   Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world      Friends rally round but it's not just a question of sympathy   Others come and go why won't you come and go with me?      We're passing strangers   But your leaving left me wondering why   These times have changed us   Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world   Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world
