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

Her for being curious the way that children often are
Seems her parents might've had a knack for carving little scars

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

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
