All you seekers of the truth You really wouldn't have a clue Memories of misspent youth The lines are drawn in black and blue Soon there'll be a time When the world will lose its mind Many will call your name And as the world of wheels go round I check into another town and The company of strangers Who worship machines That steal all their dreams It's a strange old world Shoot out on the boulevard Strong armed men with hearts so hard They all are some mother's son God is their judge, God is their gun We can fly up to the moon But try and find love in this room While there's water in the well We know that angels cannot fly The word that's come down from on high, says The company of strangers We'll have to rely And not question why In this strange old world Wish it all was a dream Where things are not quite as they seem Like a salmon colored sky And as the world of wheels go round I check into another town and The company of strangers With mysterious eyes The truth was once a lie It's a strange old world And on the way to where you are I pass the ghost of Blanch DuBois and The kidness of strangers I have com to rely And I don't question why In this strange old world Yeah, it's a strange old world Yeah, it's a strange old world
