He's a perfect stranger,
|
Like a cross of himself and a fox.
|
He's a feeling arranger
|
And a changer of the ways he talks.
|
He's the unforeseen danger
|
The keeper of the key to the locks.
|
Know when you see him,
|
Nothing can free him.
|
Step aside, open wide,
|
It's the loner.
|
|
If you see him in the subway,
|
He'll be down at the end of the car.
|
Watching you move
|
Until he knows he knows who you are.
|
When you get off at your station alone,
|
He'll know that you are.
|
Know when you see him,
|
Nothing can free him.
|
Step aside, open wide,
|
It's the loner.
|
|
There was a woman he knew
|
About a year or so ago.
|
She had something that he needed
|
And he pleaded with her not to go.
|
On the day that she left,
|
He died, but it did not show.
|
Know when you see him,
|
Nothing can free him.
|
Step aside, open wide,
|
It's the loner.
