Verse 1

Standing on the beach with a gun in my hand

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand

Staring down the barrel at the Arab on the ground

See his open mouth but I hear no sound

Chorus

I'm alive [Bass part moves up to the A string]

I'm dead

I am the Stranger [Bass moves back down to low E string]

Killing an Arab

Verse 2

I can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun

Staring at the sky, staring at the sun

Whichever I choose it amounts to the same

Absolutely nothing

Chorus

I'm alive [Bass part moves up to the A string]

I'm dead

I am the Stranger [Bass moves back down to low E string]

Killing an Arab

Verse 3

Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand

Staring at myself reflected in the eyes

Of the dead man on the beach

Chorus

I'm alive [Bass part moves up to the A string]

I'm dead

I am the Stranger [Bass moves back down to low E string]

Killing an Arab
