(Synth Sounds and reverse Vocals)
Guitar
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
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
All around
Chorus:
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances
Of a Stranger
Instrumental:
Verse 4:
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
Chorus:
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances
Of a Stranger
Verse 5:
Distant bells they started ringing,
somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness
that disappeared from sight
Oh Oh
Chorus:
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances
Of a Stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
