At a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
|
Met my friend the Chinese Elvis and hoisted a few
|
He talks like Mickey Mouse
|
And sees with x-ray eyes
|
Lives in a cardboard house
|
I almost gave him the prize
|
|
Until you
|
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
|
Things you do - right or wrong
|
It should come as no surprise
|
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
|
Stranger than you
|
|
At 83rd and Amsterdam there's an Indian Jew
|
Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw
|
He sleeps on a bed of nails
|
Which came from outer space
|
And in my taller tales
|
I gave him pride of place
|
|
Until you
|
Came along - thanks for opening my eyes
|
Things you do - right or wrong
|
It should come as no surprise
|
When you live in a town where there's always somebody stranger than you
|
Stranger than you
|
|
I'm not complaining even though I'm not sure what you are
|
I've got the strangest feeling (good) about this love bizarre
|
|
I could have stayed in bed
|
H iding from this freaky show
|
I'm happy that instead
|
I knew just where to go
|
|
When you came along - thanks for opening my eyes
|
Things you do - right or wrong
|
It should come as no surprise
|
When you live in a town where there's always somebody
|
Stranger than you
|
|
Are you a boy - are you a girl
|
Are you an oyster - are you a pearl
|
Are you a fish - are you a fowl?
|
Are you an angel - are you from hell
|
