lyrics

Here comes my beautiful stranger
He's blocking my line of sight
He stabs my back and shoots me down as I pass him by
His eyes oh how they roll like the waves meet the rocks in the night
And as I hear a quick peep, I know it isn't just me who'll be crying to sleep tonight

And as I pass him by he's thinking I'm at least eighteen
The whisky he drinks and the smoke that he stinks of lead him to ambivalent dreams
By the morning he'll have no recollection of his own darling beauty queen
But as I hear a quick peep, I know it isn't just me who'll be crying to sleep

But I'd rather crave limelight, be smoking for sunlight
Than live my life never knowing what it's like to be
Under your thumb, I know all about you
But the music stops
You let me drop
