Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He likes to have the morning paper crossword solved

Words go up, words come down

Forwards, backwards, twisted round

He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase

Disappears into an office

It's another working day

[Verse 2]

And his thoughts are full of strangers

Corridors of naked lights

And his mind was full of reason

Now there's more than meets the eye

Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him

[Verse 3]

He likes a bit of reading on the subway home

A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows

At home, a house awaits him, he unlocks the door

Thinking once there was a sea here

But there never was a door

[Verse 4]

And his thoughts are full of strangers

And his eyes too numb to see

There ain't nothing that he knows of

And nowhere where he's been

Was ever quite like this, yeah

[Verse 5]

And his thoughts are full of strangers

Corridors of naked lights

And his mind was full of reason

Now there's more than meets the eye

Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him

[Verse 6]

And his heart is full of strangers

Dodging on his train of thought
