Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

Strange Weirdos

Isn't it strange the two strangers

Suddenly don't feel so strange

It's something familiar, though this time is different

What they're in for feels like sea change

Isn't it weird the two weirdos

Can wind up not feeling that weird

It's all so momentous, yet perfectly normal

Scary but not to be feared

And it starts with a sentence

That might last a lifetime

Though it all might just

Go down in flames

If I let you know me then

Why would you want me

Each day I don't is a shame

Each day I don't is a great shame

Isn't it great that two people

Together can tear down one wall

A handwriting is on, it's not hieroglyphic

That barrier just has to fall

Well, isn't it sad that most people

Stay so lonely, it's almost a crime

We might be strange weirdos

Well, it can't be normal

To be frightened so much of our time

And it starts with a sentence

That might last a lifetime

Though it all might just

Go down in flames

If I let you know me then

Why would you want me?

Each day I don't is a shame

And each day I don't is a great shame
