about

To the beautiful people walking 'round the streets of Montreal.

lyrics

Baby’s got eyes like magnets
in a frozen sea.
But oh, they feel warm
just spiking all my metals up.
And baby’s got an ear for the soul
that I’ve been drinking of all these years.
And oh, he’s drunker than me,
his breath even smells just like drippy love,
oh drippy love.

But strangers, they never meet.
They just walk on down the same and sometimes different streets,
they never meet.
They wouldn’t be strangers then.
They never meet, no.

And, baby’s got a mind like winter
in a tea cup.
Wild, and always stirring up
all of the dreamy stuff, the stuff I love.

But stranger, we can’t seem to meet.
We just walk on down the same or sometimes different streets,
we still don’t meet.
Though we might pass through each other’s dreams,
we never meet, no.

Stranger, I think I know you,
in my imagination.
Stranger, I think I know you,
it’s just about goddamn time we meet.
I don’t want to walk by you anymore on the street, no.
I could show you my door and we could try, we could try.
I swear I will work on my opening line.
We could try, and then one day, I would say,
hey you know that Stranger Song?
I think I wrote it just for you
and you would say,
That’s so very nice. It’s not creepy baby, it’s just sweet.
And we’d be fine, you’d like my style and I’d like yours
we’d be fine baby, just fine, if we try.

So baby, take your ears, take your eyes, and your sweet mind,
and baby, just try
