THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS

Laying in a bed in a room in Texas

Propped up reading Miller’s ‘Sexus’

Scotch on the side and a pentagram ashtray

Girls on the floor from last night’s roleplay

Smoke a cigarette, risking cancer

That’s just me, I’m a bit of a chancer

A knock on the door says it’s time to go

Time to get this road on the show...

Everybody loves their guilty pleasures

Turn a blind eye to all the dangers

All of us are looking for hidden treasures

Everybody loves the company of strangers

Desires and fears are both the same

You feel pride but you feel shame

You want the world to know your name

You love the world but you wish it pain

I smell blood in an era of mad men

Knew I should have stayed wrapped up in Bedlam

I look into the mirror and I see my father

There’s wire in the blood so I can’t go farther

Gave up once but never again

My enemies are turning into friends

Be your own messiah and saviour self

Because you can’t rely on nobody else

Everybody loves their guilty pleasures

Turn a blind eye to all the dangers

All of us are looking for hidden treasures

Everybody loves the company of strangers

Desires and fears are both the same

You feel pride but you feel shame

You want the world to know your name

You love the world but you wish it pain

Murdering some time in New Orleans

The city of scabs and voodoo dreams

I rode the dark fantastic

Felt like she was made of plastic

Cut off my nose to spite my face

The catch was better than the chase

When I am King I’ll make her Queen

And I will give her everything

Everybody loves their guilty pleasures

Turn a blind eye to all the dangers

All of us are looking for hidden treasures

Everybody loves the company of strangers

Everybody loves their guilty pleasures

Turn a blind eye to all the dangers

All of us are looking for hidden treasures

Everybody loves the company of strangers
