Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: Strangered In The Night
Lyrics for Album: Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers [1976]



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 was kinda queer

A roar turned into whispers

Everyone stood there



As the sound spilt the night

They ran hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Like strangers in the night



Well I didn't see no shotgun

I didn't see no knife

But I saw this crazy black guy

With the demon in his eye

And I heard him say "white man"

I've seen that silver cue

You don't remember me well

But I remember you



As the sound spilt the night

They ran hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Like strangers in the night



Well the knife just left his fingers

As the black guy took his aim

White guy's head exploded

The black guy howled in pain

Then everybody scattered

I heard some woman scream

God damn you old black bastard

You've blown away my dreams



As the sound spilt the night

They ran hiding from the light

Like strangers in the night

Like strangers in the night
