lyrics version 1
Do you sometimes feel tired, frustrated, lonely? When you went to the doctor to get your last physical, did he look at you and say you'd have to pay in advance? Did you save up all your money to buy a used car and then when you drove it home and stopped at the intersection, the police tried to tow it away as a wrecked vehicle? Is that what's got you down? Do you sometimes feel like a stranger in a strange land walking through the desert looking for the prince of peace, but your feet stick in the sand? Is that what's troubling you bubby? Well, never give up, never give up, never give up, that ship [Spoken]
How many days has it been since I was born
How many days until I die
Do you know any way that I can make you laugh
Do I only know how to make you cry
Well when the baby looked around him
It was such a sight to see
He shared a simple secret with the wise men
He's a stranger in a strange land
Oh he's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why he's a stranger in a strange land
Oh he's a stranger in a strange land
How many years will it take to see the son (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
How many miles until he comes (Ooh ooh ooh)
Kiss my confusion away in the night (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And lay by my side until the morning comes (Ooh ooh ooh)
Well when the baby looked around him
He was such a sight to see
He shared a simple secret with the wise men
He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why, stranger in a strange land
Yeah he's a stranger in a strange land
He was a stranger in a strange land
How many days has it been since I was born
How many days until I die
Do you know any way that I can make you laugh
Do I only know how to make you cry
Well when the baby looked around him
It was such a sight to see
He shared a simple secret with the wise men
He's a stranger in a strange land
Oh he's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why he's a stranger in a strange land
Oh he's a stranger in a strange land
How many years will it take to see the son (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
How many miles until he comes (Ooh ooh ooh)
Kiss my confusion away in the night (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And lay by my side until the morning comes (Ooh ooh ooh)
Well when the baby looked around him
He was such a sight to see
He shared a simple secret with the wise men
He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why, stranger in a strange land
Yeah he's a stranger in a strange land
He was a stranger in a strange land
