Favorite Stranger
When he left me in Santa Fe
In the fire of his tail lights
I burned under the streetlamp
Trading stars for cigarettes
Pulling at the sleeves
Of his favorite shirt I gave him
Strange he let it go
Without unraveling the threads
Thought that I learned my lesson
When he put me through Hell
I've been asking for Heaven
From the devil himself
It's like waiting for dust to stop and crystalize
Like I'm making up sounds to keep me up at night
Oooh
All I can hear now are wolves
Howling at the
Moon
I wanna howl with them too
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
Used to play my favorite Cohen songs
As we danced between the moonlight
Through cracked and faded blinds
Like in that old Chelsea Hotel
Soon the music left
And he wasn't far behind it
Singin' "So Long, Marianne"
A refrain I know too well
If love is blind
Then why'd I see the end?
Maybe I'm misguided
Cause he's lost in my head
Know the only time he'll make his feelings clear
Is when he's singing goodbyes into his rearview mirror
Oooh
All I can hear now are wolves
Howling at the
Moon
I wanna howl with them too
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
Just a favorite stranger
Half past eleven
And I'm in the streets again
Waving like a semaphore
My flags are painted red
I wonder who he's loving now
And if he's loving them at all
Or if he's moving on like a southwest wind
And leaving them like me to fall
Thought that I'd learned my lesson
When he put me through Hell
I've been asking for Heaven
From the devil himself
Found a hole in my chest when I found paradise
Now I've got a black heart to make the angels cry
Oooh
All I can hear now are wolves
Howling at the
Moon
I wanna howl with them too
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
Just a favorite stranger
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
You
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
In the fire of his tail lights
I burned under the streetlamp
Trading stars for cigarettes
Pulling at the sleeves
Of his favorite shirt I gave him
Strange he let it go
Without unraveling the threads
Thought that I learned my lesson
When he put me through Hell
I've been asking for Heaven
From the devil himself
It's like waiting for dust to stop and crystalize
Like I'm making up sounds to keep me up at night
Oooh
All I can hear now are wolves
Howling at the
Moon
I wanna howl with them too
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
Used to play my favorite Cohen songs
As we danced between the moonlight
Through cracked and faded blinds
Like in that old Chelsea Hotel

Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
Just a favorite stranger
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
You
Now I'm just a favorite stranger to you
