lyrics

The Diseased Stranger’s Waltz. A/G. Am/C/E7.

I am the stranger, I am the stranger,
The diseased stranger, from out of town.

Am C
Well, I ask so completely for mercy,
E7
Rope burns that beat like the living,
Am C
Under the freeway or under the sun,
E7
The words that I write are chocked from my throat,
Am C
I’ll confess almost anything going,
E7
I shot the president three times from all sides,
Am C
The stranger lost in the Orchard,
E7
Too many souls and no one alive.

I am the Stranger, I am the stranger,
The diseased stranger, from out of town.

Am C
I am the Stranger, I am the scapegoat,
E7
I am disease from out of town,
Am C
Don’t string up my marrow drawn bones,
E7
I am the last of the living outlaws,
Am C
Yeah don’t drag my bloated body,
E7
And fling me down in the stream,
Am C
The fish are the biters of disease,
E7
And deserve me more than they.

I am the Stranger, I am the stranger,
The diseased stranger, from out of town.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith
