Sitting on a bench with a cardigan to smell home
Feeling at peace, yeah, in the water is my phone
It's a new skyline, a new tome to write
Walking around the street's full of people
Moving lips, curious eyes and wandering souls
Can someone tell me how I'm supposed
To plant the cane lead on the rest and not fall?

And they sang oh, oh, there's a city stranger
Look up little city stranger
On top of scrapers they dance
There's your chance
City Stranger

And so he danced, got drunk under the stars
High to new friends, soughing songs to his guitar
The stranger sank in the crowd
In the Apple of the non-deviating
There shall be no norm and no suffering
But their melody a double-sided knife
There is no mercy in a New York life

Rainbows saw the city stranger
Alike souls met the city stranger
Scenes his nest would burn
Do I wanna return?
Is this the answer?

Human moons shining through the window
Grand and captivating by their glow
Colossal figures tumbling on melting souls
To prey on as they hope I'll fall
It's a killing game and who will lose?
And could the exile be my truce?
Do this and do that and I've survived
On a shiny island, I have two lives

So, oh, oh, I'm a city stranger
To home, society, the world, I'm a city stranger

But only free minds could see the upside
The secret clouds colliding inside
And the rainbows that they cried
Little girl, tell me, what do you see?
Away from the social scene
A boy and his world
So down her pen furled
And she wrote
Oh, oh, there's my city stranger
Farewell, good luck to my city stranger
