Strangers When We Meet — David Bowie

Yooou, yooou, yooou Yooou, yooou, yooou

All our friends Now seem so thin and frail Slinky secrets Hotter than the sun

No peachy prayers No trendy rechauff I'm with you So I can't go on

Chorus

All my violence Raining tears upon the sheet I'm bewildered/resentful For we're strangers when we meet

Blank screen TV Preening ourselves in the snow Forget my name But I'm over you

Blended sunrise And it's a dying world Humming Rheingold We scavenge up our clothes

Chorus

Cold tired fingers Tapping out your memories Halfway sadness Dazzled by the new

Your embrace Was all that I feared That whirling room We trade by vendu

Steely resolve Is falling from me My poor soul All bruised passivity All your regrets Ride rough-shod over me I'm so glad That we're strangers when we meet I'm so thankful That we're strangers when we meet I'm in clover For we're strangers when we meet Heel head over But we're strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet (repeat ad. inf.)
