Beautiful Stranger

Pretty lady
Sitting in my room
With a look of tired sadness
And a tattoo of the moon
We met at the bar and 30 minutes later we were stoned
We're just strangers
But it's better than another night alone
I would know

We get to talking as she has me in a hold
Then she packs a bowl
And tells me bout the way her dad would scold
Her for being curious the way that children often are
Seems her parents might've had a knack for carving little scars

Beautiful stranger
Do you know where you are
You're a long way from heaven
Guess it ain't too hard
To fall when you've been down before
A victim of a pointless war
It seems

She talks about the man she thought that she would marry
How he promised her the world then flew away like a canary
What a fairy tale it shouldve been
Thats what she used to think
And although she knows he was a bum
He sure knew how to sing

I've had my own romantic failures, I relate
And we laugh because the world knows how to put you in your place
It's a moment very human
And its followed by a sigh
Then she smiles
And I smile
And she looks me in the eye
As I say

Beautiful stranger
Do you know where you are
You're a long way from heaven
Guess it ain't too hard
To fall when you've been down before
A victim of a pointless war
It seems

Beautiful stranger
Are Your living inside
Your imagination
Is the best place to hide
I know you feel you're lost at see
But you're strong enough to reach the shore
You'll see

Beautiful stranger

Beautiful stranger
Are Your living inside
Your imagination

I know you feel you're lost at see
But you're strong enough to reach the shore
You'll see

You'll see
You'll see
Youre strong enough for me
