  • The plane comes down
    Behind enemy lines
    The stars shine obscenely above you
    You don't speak the language but
    You've learned your lines
    And you have a gift for making people love you

    Now you're a stranger,
    Now it feels better, it feels better and better
    Till you feel nothing at all

    You follow the river until you reach the top
    Sleeping rough getting closer to the target
    The nights and days have murdered all
    Keeping you down, you dreaming like
    Of all the things you'll have to forget

    Now you're a strange,
    Now it feels better, it feels better and better
    Till you feel nothing at all
    Now you're a STRANGER,
    Now it feels better, it feels better and better

    There is a billboard by the station
    And behind it is the drop
    You have one last thing you have to do
    If you want all this to stop
    Just remember who your friends are
    Keep in mind you are the lone
    Look inside the envelope, you're never going home

    Now you're a stranger,
    Now it feels better, it feels better and better
    Till you feel nothing at all
    Now you're a stranger,
    Now it feels better, it feels better and better Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
