Strangers (The Strange Events of Curdlequick Falls: the Musical)

WHO ARE THE STRANGERS WALKING ‘ROUND THE CORNER?
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THOSE WHO PASS THROUGH THE DOOR
EVERYTIME THEY LOOK AT ME MY HEART BEATS FASTER
EVERYONE’S A STRANGER, RICH OR POOR

STRANGERS COME, FAR AND NEAR
WHY DO THEY FILL MY SOUL WITH FEAR
WALTZING AND TWIRLING, CASTING THEIR SPELLS
WHATS BEHIND THEIR FAÇADE, ILL NEVER TELL

STRANGERS! STRANGERS!
WATCH YOUR BACK, THEY’RE AFTER YOU
STRANGERS! STRANGERS!
GOT ONLY ONE CHANCE, AFTER THAT YOUR DOOMED
STRANGERS! DANGERS!
LOST YOUR GAME, YOUR CHANCE IS THROUGH

THEY CHANGE THEIR LOOKS, THEY CHANGE THEIR WAYS
BETTER LEAVE THE TOWN, BY THE END OF DAY
IF THEY REFUSE, IF THEY FIGHT
THEY WILL HANG BY THE END OF NIGHT

STRANGERS! STRANGERS!
WATCH YOUR BACK, THEY’RE AFTER YOU
STRANGERS! STRANGERS!
GOT ONLY ONE CHANCE, AFTER THAT YOUR DOOMED
STRANGERS! CHANGERS!
REMOVE YOUR MASK, YOUR GAME IS THROUGH
