Stranger Still - Lyrics by Hammill Peter


Lyrics
Stranger still in another town,how normal to sit out the dance,eating the good meal by myself,toasting the empty glass;and they're already setting outthe next place,already forgetting about the last.
No, nothing could be less strangein entropyno change, no change, no change.
No danger in a normal life,better steady down the adrenalin pump.
Excess refraction in the mirroronly leads to the quantum jump...
Oh, but it leaves me in limbo;how strange, what a stranger I become.
No, no, nothing could be less strangein entropyno change, no change, no change.
No, I know how to behavein the restaurant now,I don't tear at the meat with my hands;if I've become a man of the world somehowthat's not necessarily to say
I'm a worldly man.
Keep on shuffling the menuand the order never comes on time.
No, there's only diffraction patterns,no reading between the lines;only the rate of emission,and reason allows no rime.
Nothing could be less strangein entropyno change, no change, no change.
No, nothing could be less strange...
Entropy...... a stranger, a worldly man.
