David Bowie - Strangers When We Meet lyrics

so thin and frail

Slinky secrets, hotter

than the sun.

No peachy prayers,

no trendy rechauffe

I'm with you so I can't go on

All my violence raining

tears upon the sheets

I'm bewildered for we're

strangers when we meet.

Blank screen TV preening

ourselves in snow

Forget my name, but I'm over you.

Blended sunrise,

and it's a dying world

Humming rheingold,

we scavenge up our clothes.

All my violence raining

tears upon the sheets

I'm resentful for we're

strangers when we meet.

Cold tired fingers tapping

out your memories

Halfway sadness,

dazzled by the new.

Your embrace was all

that I feared

That whirling room,

we trade by vendu

Steely resolve is

falling from me

My poor soul all

bruised passivity

All your regrets ride

rough-shod over me

I'm so glad that we're

strangers when we meet

I'm so thankful that we're

strangers when we meet.

I'm in clover for we're

strangers when we meet.

Heel head over that we're

strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet.

Strangers when we meet
