STRANGERED IN THE NIGHT lyrics

Artist  : Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 
Song : STRANGERED IN THE NIGHT
 


Well it was dark at midnight
There was hardly
any moon
And no one really saw much
No one
was really sure
But something didn't seem
right
Something seemed kinda queer
The roar
turned into whispers
Everyone stood t
here

When the sounds fit the
night
Something hiding from the light
Like
strangers in the night

Well I didn't see
them shotguns
I didn't see no knife
I saw
this crazy black guy
With a demon in his
eyes
I heard him say "white man"
I've seen
that silver cue
You don't remember me
well
But I remember you

When the sounds
fit the night
Something hiding from the
light
Like strangers in the night

Well
the knife just left his fingers
As the black
guy took his aim
White guys head
exploded
My God how much pain
And then
everybody scattered
I heard some woman
scream
"God damn you old black
bastard
You've blown away my
dreams"

When the sounds fit the
night
Something hiding from the light
Like
strangers in the night
