don't be a stranger

You want a lawyer’s smile
I’m just another accountant biding his time
You need a senator’s heartbeat
I got a farmer’s sense of pride

Hello, baby ‘hello’
Where you want these lonely people to go?

You got investigator eyes
I’m just a poet’s ideal; got nothing to hide
You want an engineer downbeat
I’m a drummer’s improvise

We can let this be a blank invitation
We can let the matter slip
Let the station change
Things could be stranger
Don’t be a stranger

You got a teacher’s promise
I’ve got a steelworker’s steel-toed will, yes I will
You got an activist’s wonder
I’m just a junkie’s bitter pill

Hello, baby ‘hello’
Where you want these lonely people to go?

What’s worth it
If the world isn’t worth it
We can leave it all to melt in the rain
Why say it
If the words can’t explain it
We can leave it all to melt in the rain
