Verse 1
All our friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy réchauffé
I’m with you
So I can’t go on

Chorus
All my violence raining tears upon the sheets
I’m bewildered, for we’re strangers when we meet

Verse 2
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I’m over you
Blended sunrise
And it’s a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes

Chorus 2
All my violence raging tears upon the sheets
I’m resentful, for we’re strangers when we meet

Verse 3
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
It was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu

Chorus 3
Steely resolve is falling from me
My poor soul, poor bruised passivity
All your regrets ran rough-shod over me
I’m so glad that we’re strangers when we meet
I’m so thankful, that we’re strangers when we meet
I’m in clover, for we’re strangers when we meet
Heel head over, but we’re strangers when we meet

Outro
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet
