Strange 
strange 
i was born into 
confusion 
my mother said to me when you 
become a man you'll understand 
but it's still a mystery 
and if you want to get ahead 
get some decent clothes 
the only way to make it 
dress the part 
that gets right up my nose 


and it think to myself in this river of doubt 
this is something i can do without 
but strangeways is what i got 


the Indians are coming 
i saw it on TV 
they're 20,000 strong 
but they always get depleted by the cavalry 
salvation is at hand it's guaranteed 
just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free 


and i think to myself in this academy of fear 
where am i going what am i doing here 
but strangeways is all i got 


have you seen the headlines 
princess engaged 
3 million out of work 
but that's on the 2nd page 
the alien has landed 
finger in his ear 
can't hear a word i am saying 
but that ain't such a bad idea 


and i think to myself in this cradle of 
lust 
ashes to ashes and dust to dust 
but strangeways is all you 
get
