Sockpuppet: Strangers
In my house
In my house
What's this person that I do not think I know doing
In my house
In my house
In my house
He must have snuck in through the bedroom door, living
Like a mouse
He says he is my husband
I've never seen him before
He knows everything about me
I'll have to show him the door
Not my spouse
He's not my spouse
I think I would remember having brought him
into my house
it's my house
he's in my house
why is this person laughing right at me
sitting in my house
so many pictures of us together
the room is starting to blur
he says he's beginning to worry about me
but I just can't be sure, I can't be sure
In my house
In my house
What is this person that I do not know doing
In my house

Re: Strangers
Strangers in Love lyrics &music by Toby Roktot
v1...It was a Friday evening, a happy feeling, my buzz was just about right
I had my pay, from working days, I wanted a friend for the night
I saw her standing there, I tried not to stare, it was hard not to
I walked over, just wanted to hold her said, "May I dance with you?"
v2...She looked me up and down wondered what town I'd come from
I could tell by the look in her eye, I might just be the one
To rock her world, make her toes curl, love her all night long
I took her hand said, "Pardon me ma'am, I think they're playing our song."
chorus...I fell for a girl I just met tonight
Strangers dancing together, in the full moon light
Took a chance on faith, took a chance on love
Took a chance on this stranger, I'd been dreaming of
v3...We found a place to sit and talk, I told her what I was thinking of
After a while, she began to smile, strangers falling in love
We thought it better if we left together, no one noticed we'd gone
Strangers in the night, both knew it was right, and she took me home
chorus...
v4...We lay together enjoying the moment, I told her what I was thinking of
After a while she began to smile, new strangers...new strangers...new strangers in love

Re: Strangers
I can't find a place to hide
from these strangers, following me
It's outrageous, the things they'll do
I can't take it, the way they persue
What up kids?
I'm the man inside the van
Straight rollin' near the playgrounds
Hatchin' up plans
I got candy in the frontseat
puppies in the back
But your parents and your teachers
all be talkin' silly smack
They same I'm a stranger
I bring the danger
They tryin' kill my game
I'm only here to entertain ya
With video games, pop rocks and apple pies
Forget them adult lies
Let's take a ride

Strangers. By Cookie Blue
How can I connect
When your frequency changes
Like the dresses of the skeletons
In your magazines
Can I talk to you
I know that you're busy
A word, maybe two
Before you're posting that we met
I don't think I'd be happy
Without my awkward dreams
Searching for a meaning
That you'll never need
You ain't got the time
To live now, got important stuff to do
People acting strange
You make me cry
Today I fed a bird
But you said it's forbidden
And I can't pet your horse
Sir, am I allowed to breathe now?
Hiding from it all
I can tell you what it's like
But if you're still sane now
You won't understand
I am drifting away (you're all becoming strangers)
Losing hope these days (stranger and stranger)

Hope remains, when all else is lost
Under the waves, of a love long gone
So do not rise, not so fast
Just rest a while, and to hell with them
I'm a silver eyed
Animal
I'm a white-washed child
Full of chemicals
So make it real
Or make it less
It's no big deal
It's everything
hmmmmmm
Not long now
Till I'm coming home
Eisenhower's gonna drop the bomb
And there we'll stand
Strangers both
I'll take your hand
Then let you go..

Re: Strangers
Strangers
by John Lampson
I needed a friend and you disappeared
Where did you go?
Subjectively real, the doctor said
Did they take you again?
You open your eyes but you can't see
Your friends and family
Those strangers, they changed you
They told you, they'd save you from yourself
They probed you trying to find you
But you had left
You had left again
The time before, you made up this line
Reptilians and bright lights
I understand it's easier than
Accepting the end
Those strangers, they changed you
They told you, they'd save you from yourself
They probed you trying to find you
But you had left

Strangers
Say what you want
we don’t know who you are
show us your strength
when you shine with the stars
And the light that comes down will be brilliant
and the strangers among us resilient
Do what you want
we’re not keeping track
Keep the door closed
if you need to hold back
And the light that shines down will be brilliant
and the strangers among us resilient
Don’t be afraid to change
Don’t be afraid to be strange
Don’t be afraid to engage
Don’t be afraid to be strange
Say what you want
when there’s nobody listening
Let your tongue go
if the silver is glistening
And the light that reflects will be brilliant
and the strangers among us resilient
Don’t be afraid to change
Don’t be afraid to be strange
Don’t be afraid to engage
Don’t be afraid to be strange
