Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir
Inside you're burningNotes
I can see clear through
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
Lit up and flashing
Like the reds and blues
Out there on the neon avenue
But I feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
Well the music's thundering
We're restless and hot
You keep firing glances across the room
And I can't stop wondering
Just what you got
Get the feeling I'm gonna find out real soon
Still I feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
Well you know it's gonna get stranger
So let's get on with the show
Yes and the wheel
Gets smoking round midnight
You shoot me a look that said let's go
Yes and it feels
Just like running a red light
There ain't no point in looking behind us, no
But I feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
You know it keeps getting stranger and stranger
If it's love then how would I know?
Yes and it's gonna get stranger
Some things you just know
If this were love then how would I know
(Feel like a stranger)
(Feel like a stranger)
Feel like a stranger
(Feel like a stranger)
It's gonna be a long hot crazy night
It's gonna be a long long crazy crazy night (note 1)
Yeah crazy night
Silky silky, crazy crazy night
Inside you're burning
Well I'm fairly certain
Your eyes tell me more than you wish them to
And I can't help feeling
It's more than just flirting
You may say no but I know it's true
Still I
Feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
Stranger to me
Stranger to you
I got that feeling
Like we just ran a stop light
And there's no point in looking back, no, no
Feeling restless
Tell me
Here's the [keys block], come on let's go
Still I
Feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
I know you don't trust me
No more than I trust you
Roll on by
Yes, I'm fairly certain
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
And I can't help feeling
More than flirting
You may say no but I know it's true
Still I
Feel like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
Like a stranger
Stranger to me
Stranger to you
I know you don't love me
No more than I love you
Feel like a stranger
Like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
Like a stranger
Feel like a stranger
