Strangered in the Night

Well, it was dark at midnight

There was hardly any moon

And no one really saw much

No one was really sure

But something didn't seem right

Something seemed kinda queer

The roar turned into whispers

Everyone stood there

When the sounds fit the night

Like it hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

Well, I didn't see those shotguns

And I didn't see no knife

But I saw this crazy black guy

With a demon in his eyes

And I heard him say, "White man"

I've seen that silver cue

You don't remember me well

But I remember you

When the sounds fit the night

Like it hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

Well, the knife just left his fingers

As the black guy took his aim

White guy's head exploded

My God, how he pained

And then everybody scattered

I heard some woman scream

"God damn you old black bastard

Well, you've blown away my dreams"

When the sound just fits the night

Like it hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

Strangers in the night

Strangers in the night
