Stranger in Paradise
It seems like every road to paradise, dead-ends, and cul-de-sacs
Yellow Brick Roads with pot-holes, hold the saddlebags
Of dream-riders, royalty, and little-me-mama, scallywags
Of whom decayed skeletons remain crucified to power lines.
So little time has passed, I realize with a shiver
I take my coffee with my thoughts, just as black, just as bitter
Pause from mere habit for a moment to consider
That I've made it through the desert like a king, like a winner.
But the sun's sleeping shadow slips slowly down the lawn
And so my mind wanders on as I forget to ponder on
How we were promised a golden dawn, a road that stretches on,
But damn it I'll be darned, if they ain't make good upon,
Making every boulevard, look just like the post cards,
The bourgeois charm of the Kalashnikov guard
It's all fun and games till someone thinks too hard
A stranger in paradise can't afford the cover charge
A Stranger in a strange land
No welcoming sign
Nobody wants you here.
A stranger in a strange land
No welcoming sign
Nobody wants you here.
Only one man at the firm ever held me at a distance

Cold, stone-faced Rutherford, contractor for JC Simmons
They say during the war he flew a XB-15
Crash landed in Romania behind enemy lines
I suppose one could state fortuitous fate fancies me
My existence is nothing less than a Fitzgerald fantasy
I attract wealth and wealthy men depend on me
My origins instill in them assurance of my loyalty
But the price of a passport and the cost of transport
A lighthearted joke and a penchant for smoke
Was enough to fool the joes at the border patrol
But not enough for old Rutherford when a man knows, he knows
I suppose, it was the way I shied my eyes from the Gold
How certain things were never asked
Certain tales never told
Now in the middle of October when the air chills the bone I always watch my back and never walk home alone.
A Stranger in a strange land
No welcoming sign
Nobody wants you here.
A stranger in a strange land
No welcoming sign
Nobody wants you here.
