Song: "The Stranger Song"
The Identity Theory song lyrics section is shutting down in consideration of possible copyright issues. Here is a small sample of the lyrics you were looking for...
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
who said they were through with dealing
every time you gave them shelter.
I know that kind of man;
it's hard to hold the hand of anyone
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind,
you find he did not leave you very much,
not even laughter.
Like any dealer, he was watching for the card
that is so high and wild,
he'll never need to deal another.
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
And then leaning on your window sill,
he'll say one day you caused his will
to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter.
And then taking from his wallet
an old schedule of trains, he'll say,
"I told you when I came I was a stranger.
I told you when I came I was a stranger."
