Stranger

On a cold and windy morning Said goodbye to my old friends They were hangin' around the corner They were stayin' till the end On the other side of midnight, I was lookin' for a place to stay And one thing's sure for certain I ain't never goin' back again The streetlights looked so pretty As they spread into a town I was lookin' for another sundown And my head was spinning round and round Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger Lookin' through the eyes of danger Lookin' at the all-night dancer Never takin' all the chances As I walked into the main street Saw a crowd across the square And I heard a guitar playin' And I saw you standing there Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger Lookin' through the eyes of danger Lookin' at the all-night dancer Never takin' all the chances Distant bells they started ringing Somewhere far off in the night And the place was full of loneliness That disappeared from sight --- Stranger - Electric Light Orchestra
