Lyrics for Strangers When We Meet

All our friends Now seem so thin and frail Slinky secrets Hotter than the sun No peachy prayers No trendy rechauff茅 I'm with you So I can't go on All my violence Raining tears upon the sheet I'm bewildered For we're strangers when we meet Blank screen TV Preening ourselves in the snow Forget my name But I'm over you Blended sunrise And it's a dying world Humming Rheingold We scavenge up our clothes All my violence Raining tears upon the sheet I'm resentful For we're strangers when we meet Cold tired fingers Tapping out your memories Halfway sadness Dazzled by the new Your embrace Was all that I feared That whirling room We trade by vendu Steely resolve Is falling from me My poor soul All bruised passivity All your regrets Ride rough-shod over me I'm so glad That we're strangers when we meet I'm so thankful That we're strangers when we meet I'm in clover For we're strangers when we meet Heel head over But we're strangers when we meet Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet
