Devil Makes Three - Stranger lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I'm alive like a sprouting seed Like the deepest roots of an ancient tree I did not come here for the bread No, I have come to wake the dead [Pre-Chorus 1] They'll say, "Tell us, Jack, what have you seen? Where will you go now, what does it mean?" Come on boys, you've got to do it right Pray to the moon in the middle of the night "Come on Jack, what do you know? What have you seen now, where will you go?" Come on boys, I've got to tell you true I'm a stranger here just like you [Chorus] I get high as the morning sky This song I sing will never die I get low as a gravel road In a thousand tongues my story's told [Verse 2] I'm throwing heat like a funeral pyre We can get along like a house on fire This world, she's cold, this world is mean My heart is stone, my hands are clean [Pre-Chorus 2] And they'll say, "Tell us Jack, where will you go? What have you seen now, what do you know?" Come on boys, you've got to do it right You'd better pray to the moon in the middle of the night "Come on Jack, what do you know? Where have you seen now, where will you go?" Come on boys, I've got to tell you true I'm a stranger here just like you [Chorus] I get high as the morning sky This song I sing will never die I get low as a gravel road In a thousand tongues my story's told [Verse 3] Watch me roll like an iron wheel I can stack the deck when the spirits deal Time cannot hold me in this cage I'm cheating d**h, I jump the grave [Pre-Chorus 1] They'll say, "Tell us, Jack, what have you seen? Where will you go now, what does it mean?" Come on boys, you've got to do it right Pray to the moon in the middle of the night "Come on Jack, what do you know? What have you seen now, where will you go?" Come on boys, I've got to tell you true I'm a stranger here just like you [Chorus] I get high as the morning sky This song I sing will never die I get low as a gravel road In a thousand tongues my story's told
