Some fools don't know what's right from wrong But somehow those folks belong Me, I try for all I'm worth But I still remain a stranger on this earth Some people gloom, other folk cry Me, I have to struggle to keep alive Ever since the day of my birth I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth I try to be what all folks should Forgetting the bad and doing good But no matter how I try My troubles always multiply Now I've been doing the best I can Ever since life began Some day when I prove my worth I won't be a stranger on earth Now I've been living the best I can Ever since my life began The day's gonna come when I prove my worth And I won't be no stranger No, I won't be a stranger On this earth

When every wind is an afterlife out here What language do you dream in when you're drunk? And feel just like a map of where you've been And all the smoke and mirrors you've hung If only this one held the answer to the aching of our hearts A little drop of poison in the rain A little drop of madness in my heart It's nothing but will nothing grow away? Look nervously at things that come apart If only this one held the answer To our loneliness and all Through days we love, through days we disappear To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, I'm a stranger now And where will I undress to disappear? To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, I'm a stranger now Oh, I'm a stranger now From ocean to the valley to the skin I mumble to myself and miss your call I run around but look for you within That little stir of hope into it all If only this one held the answer To our loneliness and all In days we love, in days we disappear To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, I'm a stranger now And where will I undress to disappear? To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, I'm a stranger now Oh, I'm a stranger now A little drop of poison in the rain A little drop of poison in my heart It's nothing but will nothing grow away? Look nervously at things that come apart If only this one held the answer To the aching of my heart Through days we love, through days we disappear To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, we are strangers now And where will we undress to disappear? To go for all the things behind a cloud Oh, we are strangers now Oh, we are strangers now Now so deep into the forest With my Swedish little heart I am nowhere near your sunset It's so quiet after all And I'm a stranger now Oh, I'm a stranger now Oh, I'm a stranger now Oh, I'm a stranger now

Now I have a story that I'd like to tell About this guy, you all know me I was scared as hell He comes to me at night when I crawl into bed He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred He wears the same hat and sweater every single day And even if it's hot outside, he wears it anyway He's home when I'm awake, but he shows up when I sleep I can't believe that there's a nightmare, on my street It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right And we had just gotten off of tour last night So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy If we summoned up the posse and down watch a movie I got Angie, Jeff got Tina Ready Rock got some girl I've never seen in my life That was alright though, 'cause lady was chill Then we dipped to the theatre set to ill Buggin', cold havin' a ball And somethin' 'bout Elm Street was the movie we saw The way it started was decent You know, nothin' real fancy About this homeboy named Fred And this girl named Nancy But, word! When it was over, I said, yo, that was def! And everything seemed alright when we left But when I got home and laid down to sleep That began the nightmare, on my street It was burnin' in my room like an oven My bed soaked with sweat, and man, I was buggin' I checked the clock, and it stopped at 12:30 It had melted it was so darn hot, and I was thirsty I wanted something cool to quench my thirst I thought to myself, Yo! This heat is the worst But when I got downstairs, I noticed something was wrong I was home all alone, but the TV was on I thought nothin' of it as I grabbed the remote I pushed the power button, and I then almost choked When I heard this awful voice comin' from behind, it said "You are my favorite rapper, but now you must die!" Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was Broke inside my drawers and screamed, so long 'cause! Got halfway up the block, I calmed down and stopped screamin' And thought, Oh, I get it, I must be dreamin' I strolled back home with a grin on my grill I'm thinkin' since this is a dream, I might as well get ill I walked in the house, the big, bad, Fresh Prince But Freddy killed all that noise real quick He grabbed me by my neck and said "Here's what we'll do. We've got a lotta work here, me and you The souls of your friends, you and I will claim You've got the body, and I've got the brains." I said, yo, Fred. I think you've got me all wrong I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work The girls won't be yours, Fred, your face is all burnt Fred got mad and his head started steamin' But I thought what the hell, I'm only dreamin' I said, please leave Fred, so I can get some sleep But gimme a call, and maybe we'll hang out next week I pat him on the shoulder, say, "Thanks for stoppin' by. Then I opened up the door and said, "Take care, guy!" He got mad, threw back his arm, and slashed my shirt I laughed at first, then thought, Hold up, that hurt It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real I said, Freddy, uh, uh, there's been an awful mistake here. No further words, and then I darted upstairs Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed Pulled the covers up over my head and said Oh please, do somethin' with Fred! He jumped on my bed and threw the covers with his claws Tried to get me but my alarm went off. and then Silence It was a whole new day, I thought Heh, I wasn't scared of him, anyway Until I noticed those rips in my sheets And that was proof that there had been a nightmare, on my street Oh man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff C'mon, c'mon C'mon Jeff, answer C'mon man Hello Jeff, it's Prince man, Jeff, wake up Jeff, wake up What do you want? Jeff, wake up, man. Listen to me. Jeff It's 3 o'clock in the morning, what do you want? Jeff, listen, Jeff, would you listen to me? Whatever you do, don't Fall asleep Man Jeff listen to me. Don't go to sleep Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm goin' to bed Jeff! Jeff! Jeff, answer me, Jeff I'm your D.J. now, Princy ha ha ha

A moving stream of information That is floating on the wind The secrets never end And now they call They sing, they play, they dance for you From out of the blue What can you do? The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere Where words cascade like rainbows Tumbling from the sky Then I'll be there, I'll be there When messages will call to you Their secrets all around Without a sound, they're all around The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere They're calling everywhere Those secret messages that spill Into the air from far away So far away A flowing river of illusion Running with confusion Never gone - it goes on and on The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere Secret messages Secret messages Secret messages
