Intro

E A/E Am/E E (bis)

Verse 1

I must be invisible;
No one knows me. 
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.       
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.       

Chorus

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Will be all my day. 
And I don't know what's goin' on,
I'll be on my way.       

Verse 2

When I walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me, 
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.       
Some will say that I'm no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.       

Chorus

'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day. 
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.
