The Walkabouts - Ended Up A Stranger lyrics

cacophonous and slippery 4:35 in the mornin' and I'm drivin' these streets tryin' to capture every sound my microphone hangs out, the back seat window and what I don't succeed in capturin' turns weightless and indifferent Lord, I've become a stranger.... in my old haunts blips and bleeps and siren squalls this town it just gets richer and it's teeth get clenched and I am just a statue of a long lost fearless age our maladies our strategies this microphone my wanderin's aside Lord, I've become a stranger.... in my old haunts hello desire' and what your spooky name implies in you, I found my silk and swagger, the calm before the prize and though I, once was warned you'd be the grave in which I'd lie with you, I was no stranger.... in my old haunts someday I'll hit the turnpike speed past a truck stop burnin' it'll streak my rearview mirror it'll fade, a lonely flicker and I'll listen to these tapes I've made my symphony of phantoms Lord, I've ended up a stranger, in my old haunts I've become a stranger.... in my old haunts
