Electric Light Orchestra

Stranger

On a cold and windy morning

said goodbye to my old friends

They were hangin' around the corner

They were stayin' till the end

till the end

On the other side of midnight

I was lookin' for a place to stay

And one thing's sure for certain

I ain't never goin' back again, no, no

(The stranger...)

The streetlights looked so pretty

as they spread into a town

I was lookin' for another sundown

And my head was spinning round and round

going around.

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the air)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the air)

Never takin' all the chances

(I was stranger)

As I walked into the main street

saw a crowd across the square

And I heard a guitar playin'

And I saw you standing there

standing there

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the air)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the air)

Never takin' all the chances

(I was stranger)

Distant bells, they started groovin'

somewhere far off in the night

And the place was full of loneliness

That disappeared from sight

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger

(I'm looking through the air)

Lookin' through the eyes of danger

Lookin' at the all-night dancer

(I'm looking through the air)

Never takin' all the chances

(I was stranger)

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger...

I ain't never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back

Never goin' back...
