Stranger Electric Light Orchestra

[Backwards]
You're playing me backwards

[Verse 1]
On a cold and windy morning
I said goodbye to my old friends
They were hanging 'round the corner
They were staying 'til the end, 'til the end
On the other side of midnight
I was looking for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain
I ain't never going back again, no more

(These strangers)

[Verse 2]
The streetlights looked so pretty
As they spread into a town
I was looking for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round, round and round

[Chorus]
Looking through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Looking through the eyes of danger
Looking at the all-night dancers
(I'm looking through the eyes)
Never taking all of the chances of a stranger (Stranger)
