Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He likes to have the morning paper crossword solved
Words go up, words come down, forwards backwards twisted round
He doesn't act that strangely now there's people around
He's looking at their faces
They won't stick in his mind
[Verse 2]
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into his office, it's another working day
[Verse 3]
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more that meets the eye
Now a stranger's face, he'll carries with him
[Verse 4]
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
A sudden interruptions and his train afar
Monday is the Tuesday for we'll be afar
[Verse 5]
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here but there never was a door
[Verse 6]
And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes too numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was never quite like this
[Verse 7]
Yeah
And at heart
He's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought
Train of thought
Train of thought
Train of thought
Train of thought
