You better take care /

[sometimes i think it's a crime]

[when i get to feeling better]

i'm mister solo dolo /

if i don't get some shelter /

[i tell you love!]

[sister!]

[it's just a kiss away]

[kiss away]

streets are uneven / when you're down /

[when you're strange]

[faces come out of the rain]

[when you're strange]

[no one remembers your name]

[when you're strange]

[when you're strange... all right now]

can't you see / oh lord can't you see /

[gonna buy a ticket now]

[as far as i can]

[ain't never comin back]

[ride me a southbound]

[all the way to georgia]

[till th' train run outta tracks]

and if god forbid you care / it's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble /

[oh realize]

[it ain't wise to idealize]

[or put your life in the hands of any struggle]

[never renounce, or ever claim to be, and never buy that freedom just ain't free]
