Stranger In a Foreign Land
I came back to say hi
You gave me the cold shoulder
I spent the rest of the night drunk
My buddy asks what's wrong
"I only want to hold her"
He helps me forget about my funk
Be careful
For what you wish
You may get it
If things are wrong
Just be strong
Keep yourself alive
And now I wait for her
To awaken from her slumber
My heart and chest are on fire
I've got so much to say
But I know there's no salvation
I'm going to have to start again
And rumors have got around
I've lost the town I called home
I am more lost than I've ever been
Pull the shades
Cold rolls in
My room is frozen
Nowhere's safe
Nothing's sacred
What is left for me?
