lyrics

Nobody heard his sigh from the listening room
He couldn't feel the pain for being numb and blue
He walked alone in a crowd for a cause he did not know
The clown made him want to cry then he wanted to go

Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all

How can you eat so much and feel empty inside?
How she agreed that she loved him when her eyes
Were saying goodbye
He stayed up all night wishing he could just lay there and die
You couldn't picture this ‘cause he saw it with his inner eye

Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all

Gone all your rights when you let democracy fall
Few are the ones who see the signs carried high and tall
If you watch the news you can see we’re being confused
But we’ll all know the truth when the shadow creeps over you

Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all
