Nothing but a Stranger Songtext
von Peter Kingsbery

Who is this juvenile, who is this pest
And who do I have to be
To kneel before his holiness
I′ve got no friends, at least not so young
Who act like this poor
Abandoned crippled child
That's deaf and dumb

He ain′t nothing but a stranger
Nothing more than a flirt
But he'll always be
A part of me, a mystery


How can I prove what I once never was
And now you've got this vision
Of some vulnerable macho love
I′m not the drifter who just
Jumped off the train
Though it′s true that we all talk
And laugh and cry and fuck the same

He ain't nothing but a stranger
Nothing more than a flirt
But he′ll always be
A part of me, a mystery

A mysterious work of
Man-made truths and lies
The perfect angel, the devil's curse
That cannot rule nor rise above
Who believes that love′s a woman
When she cries, cries...

He ain't nothing but a stranger
Nothing more than a flirt
But he′ll always be
A part of me

But he'll always be
A part of me...
