Boy Strange

See Boy Strange on the horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?
See Boy Strange as an example of youth
so close to the truth
but still far away
And he's such a strange boy
will he make a good exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?
When you realise that this boy is strange
it's too late to change
your point of view
He's often there when the sun meets the sky
with a perfect alibity
unlike you
And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?
To talk of common sense is a complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
bound to commit
In the eyes of the world he's a borderline fool
both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
him on you?
