Deep Purple Lyrics for Song: Strangeways
 Lyrics for Album: The House Of Blue Light [1987]
 
 
 
 30199>Strangeways
 
 Strange
 
 Strange
 
 
 
 I was born into
 
 confusion
 
 my mother said to me when you
 
 become a man you'll understand
 
 but it's still a mystery
 
 and if you want to get ahead
 
 get some decent clothes
 
 the only way to make it
 
 dress the part
 
 that gets right up my nose
 
 
 
 and it think to myself in this river of doubt
 
 this is something i can do without
 
 but strangeways is what i got
 
 
 
 the indians are coming
 
 i saw it on tv
 
 they're 20,000 strong
 
 but they always get depleted by the cavalry
 
 salvation is at hand it's guaranteed
 
 just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free
 
 
 
 and i think to myself in this academy of fear
 
 where am i going what am i doing here
 
 but strangeways is all i got
 
 
 
 have you seen the headlines
 
 princess engaged
 
 3 million out of work
 
 but that's on the 2nd page
 
 the alien has landed
 
 finger in his ear
 
 can't hear a word i am saying
 
 but that ain't such a bad idea
 
 
 
 and i think to myself in this cradle of
 
 lust
 
 ashes to ashes and dust to dust
 
 but strangeways is all you
 
 get
