Deep Purple - Strangeways

Текст песни Deep Purple - Strangeways

strange
 strange
 i was born into
 confusion
 my mother said to me when you
 become a man you'll understand
 but it's still a mystery
 and if you want to get ahead
 get some decent clothes
 the only way to make it
 dress the part
 that gets right up my nose

 and it think to myself in this river of doubt
 this is something i can do without
 but strangeways is what i got

 the indians are coming
 i saw it on tv
 they're 20,000 strong
 but they always get depleted by the cavalry
 salvation is at hand it's guaranteed
 just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free

 and i think to myself in this academy of fear
 where am i going what am i doing here
 but strangeways is all i got

 have you seen the headlines
 princess engaged
 3 million out of work
 but that's on the 2nd page
 the alien has landed
 finger in his ear
 can't hear a word i am saying
 but that ain't such a bad idea

 and i think to myself in this cradle of
 lust
 ashes to ashes and dust to dust
 but strangeways is all you
 get
