Stranger In Town (Live) - Toto

I remember it was late one night In the middle of a dream. Woke up in a pool of sweat Thought I heard a scream. Ran over to the window sill Stuck my head out for a peek Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognize. Running down my back street My heart skipped a beat. You better watch out, there's a stranger in town. You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out when he comes around. Don't make a sound The morning paper and the head-lines read: Danger to the queen Buckingham Palace better tighten things up. The son of a bitch is mean. Vendors on the corner just doin' their job. Acting like nothing's new Scotland Yard's still looking for him. But he doesn't leave A single clue What can they do? You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out, when he comes around Don't make a sound Who's this man who fell out of the sky? What's he done and where's he live? How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids? The old couple swear that the Riper's back. They say it's him all right. The young girl says it's Jesus and he won't be back again Tonight. I wonder who's right? You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out when he comes around You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out, there's a stranger in town You better watch out when he comes around Don't make a sound

Take my hand I'm a stranger in Paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry eyed That's a danger in Paradise For mortals who stand beside An angel like you I saw your face and I ascended Out of the common place into the rare Somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know there's a chance that you care Won't you answer this fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise? Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To this stranger in paradise And tell him that he need be A stranger no more

I'm a stranger here, I just rode in your town I'm a stranger here, I just rode into town And just because I'm a stranger Everybody dog me around I wonder how it come you all despise this stranger so I wonder how it come you all despise this stranger so You all should remember You're reap just what you sow I'm goin' back south, wear out 99 pair of shoes I'm goin' back south, wear out 99 pair of shoes I won't be no more stranger Won't have no more stranger blues

You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind You stare into the distance, looking for a sign But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Repeats 2x I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
