A World I Never Made

(album: Love Me Tender - 1982)

The late show is over
And the city is fast asleep
And I'm lost in a world
That's just too cold and deep
I've turned so many ways
I'm spinning like a top
I wish that I could get off
Or get this world to stop

I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made

I'm always chasing dragons
With a sword that's made of tin
So I know in my soul
There's no way I can win
I tried, oh I tried
But there's no place, no place to go
There's no one here who knows me
And no one here I know

I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made
