Stranger in Black Lyrics

by Cage

[Music: Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

Just out of prison and everything sucks

I am the king of bad luck

Hitchhiked to barstow then stole a car

Ten bucks in my pocket won't get me too far

Looking for action rage until I drop

Then in my rearview the lights of a cop

Catch me or kill me I'm not going back

Foot to the floor all dressed in black

I follow the lines on the road

Trouble wherever I go

Don't trust the eyes of a stranger in black

Thrill of a lifetime taking what is not mine

Bringing the pain is my addiction

Breaking their faces leaving no traces

Being insane is my affliction

Open the register give me the cash

Hand me your keys the last car I crashed

Don't you resist me I'm liable to freak

I prey on the innocent feed on the weak

My life has no meaning and yours even less

Crime is the way that I handle my stress

So liberating to have no regard

So pour me a drink and deal me some cards

[Chorus]

and right when you think I'm gone I'll come again

I follow the lines on the road trouble wherever I go

Don't trust the eyes a stranger in black

Nowhere to call a place home no one will leave me alone

No wonder I ended up living my life the way that I do

[Lead Mcginnis]

[Lead Garcia]

A bottle of whiskey a 12 pack of beer

Drinking and smoking while truing to steer

Cigarette ashes that fall to the floor

My dark sunglasses all things I adore

A larcenous living is not for the faint

I ain't no devil but I ain't no saint

So don't ever knock what you never will try

If you say your life is fulfilled I tell you you die

[Chorus]
