The Loner

Neil Young · Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4 [2012]

He's a perfect stranger

Like a cross of himself and a fox

He's a feeling arranger

And a changer of the ways he talk

He's the unforeseen danger

The keeper of the key to the lock



Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

He's the loner



If you see him in the subway

He'll be down at the end of the car

Watching you move

Until he knows he knows who you are

When you get off at your station alone

He'll know that you are



Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

He's the loner



There was a woman he knew

About a year or so ago

She had somethin' that he needed

And he pleaded with her, "Please don't go"

On the day that she left

He died, but it did not show



Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

He's the loner



Know when you see him

Nothing can free him

Step aside, open wide

He's the loner
