Strangers Things Have Happened

Stranger things have happened
Overheard it all
Come the new religion
Overheard the call

Have I overstayed my welcome
On the FM radio?
Did I capture some affection
Should I pack it up and go?

Did the preacher lack the patience
To retire all his fears?
Well, there's a breach along the pavement
And we've been running here for years

You know I love the subtle silence
I even love the rodeo
And I'll do the lifetime sentence
16 and 20 more to go

Can you see the riders coming
On the long line of your fate?
Well, stranger things have happened
Than spying them too late

Did your teacher miss the moment
To inspire all your peers?
There's a breach along the pavement
And we've been running here for years

There's a bleeding on the sidelines
And pictures on the wall
There's stories in the red wine
And whispers through the hall
There's an answer in my mind's eye
That I can't find with a drink
And I am running so we don't die
And I cannot stop to think

Will the seekers have the payment
That requires all your tears?
There's a breach along the pavement
And we've been running here for years
There's a breach along the pavement
And we've been running here for years
