Strangeways

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

Strange
Strange

I was born into confusion, my mother said to me:
"When you become a man you'll understand but it's still a mystery"
And if you want to get ahead, get some decent clothes
The only way to make it dress the part that gets right up my nose

And it think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without but strangeways is what I got

The indians are coming - I saw it on TV
They're 20000 strong but they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand, it's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to god, 1-800 toll free

And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going? What am I doing here? But strangeways is all I got

Have you seen the headlines? Princess engaged
Three million out of work but that's on the second page
The alien has landed, finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I'm saying but that ain't such a bad idea

And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust but strangeways is all you get
