Total Stranger

(album: Black Cars - 1984)

Is anybody out there?
There's no knock on my door
No one comes anymore
To this island

Trapped on memory lane
Caught in yesterdays rain
In the silence

I have looked in your eye
Calling your name out loud
But you look right through me
Like a ghost in a crowd

Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown

Living like a total stranger
A nowhere man
You see I couldn't get a listed number
Living in a now man's land

Well did you take me for dead
Did you know I still bled
With desire

I keep on talking to you
But the words don't come through
On this wire

I'm a voice in the dark
Crying out to the ghost
So I reach out my hand
Like a man overboard

Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown
Living like a total stranger
A nowhere man
You see I couldn't get a listed number
Living in a no man's land

I'm a voice in the dark
Crying out to the ghost
So I reach out my hand
Like a man overboard

Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown

Living like a total stranger
Does anybody understand
You see I couldn't get a listed number
Living in a no man's land

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
