Secret Messages
On a cold and windy morning
said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner
They were stayin' till the end 
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, no, no


(The stranger...)


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 
going around.


Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the air)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the air)
Never takin' all the chances
(I was stranger)


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 
standing there


Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the air)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the air)
Never takin' all the chances
(I was stranger)


Distant bells, they started groovin' 
somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness
That disappeared from sight


Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the air)
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm looking through the air)
Never takin' all the chances
(I was stranger)
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger...


I ain't never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back
Never goin' back...
