Nighttime again
Seems I'm my only friend
Wander the streets alone
The lost in search of his own
Once again I've played the clown
Used my friends and let them down
Walk the streets just staring out
Late at night the strange come out
Time, time, time again
I'm just looking for a friend
But no one seems to be around
Just this monkey that I've found
Still he is my only friend
And tonight he grins again
Tonight he grins again
Oh, yeah
Tonight he grins again
It's cold this pain
It's burning inside my veins
I walk away
A shadow of Dorian Gray
Once again I've played the clown
Used my friends and let them down
Walk the streets staring out
Late at night the strange come out
Time, time, time again
I'm just looking for a friend
No one seems to be around
Just this monkey that I've found
Still he is my only friend
And tonight he grins again
Tonight he grins again
Oh, yeah
Tonight he grins again
Oooh, livin' on the... edge
Strange Reality:
Who's this before me
Dressed in rags, soaked in gin?
Is it a sign or a warning?
Am I now where he's been?
Am I losing my way?
Strange insanity
It's an illusion away
This reality
You know that could be me, oh yeah
That could be me
Wake every morning
I don't know where I've been
All my excuses
Showing strain wearing thin
Am I losing my way?
This strange insanity
It's an illusion away
This reality
That could be me, oh yeah
That could be me
Another day, another night
Another drink, another fight
Somehow it's all the same
And so I wake in my gin
Never knowing where I've been
Still I play the game
So strange
So strange
So strange to me
So strange
So strange reality, yeah
I look to the future
With the eyes of the blind
Can't see much further
Than this haze in my mind
Am I losing my way?
Strange insanity
It's an illusion away
This reality
You know that could be me
Now that could be me, oh yeah
Another day, another night
Somehow it's all the same
Another drink, another fight
Still I play the game
So strange
So strange reality
So strange
So strange to me
So strange
So strange reality
So strange
So strange to me
I'm losing my way
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where I've been
