He likes to have the morning paper's crossword solved
Words go up, words come down
Forwards, backwards, twisted round
Ooh no...
He doesn't act that strangely now there's people around
He's looking at their faces
They won't stick in his mind
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into his office
It's another working day
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors in naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Now a stranger's face he carries with him
Ooooh
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
Hey
A distant radio's whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him,
He unlocks the door
Once there was a sea here
But there never was a door
And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes too numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was never quite like this
And at heart he's full of strangers
Yeah yeah
(???)
Oh (???)
Oh (???)
(???)
Oh (???)
Ok (???) our way
