Buddha of Suburbia movie - Strangers When We Meet lyrics

rate me

Song by David Bowie<br /><br>

All my friends<br>

Now seem so thin and frail<br>

Slinky secrets<br>

Hotter than the sun<br>

No peachy prayers<br>

No trendy rechauffe <br>

I'm with you<br>

So I can't go on<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

All my violence<br>

Raining tears upon the sheet<br>

I'm bewildered/resentful<br>

For we're strangers when we meet<br>

<br>

Blank screen TV<br>

Preening ourselves in the snow<br>

Forget my name<br>

But I'm over you<br>

Blended sunrise<br>

And it's a dying world<br>

Humming Rheingold<br>

We scavenge up our clothes<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Cold tired fingers<br>

Tapping out your memories<br>

Halfway sadness<br>

Dazzled by the new<br>

Your embrace<br>

Was all that I feared<br>

That whirling room<br>

We trade by vendu<br>

<br>

Steely resolve<br>

Is falling from me<br>

My poor soul<br>

All bruised passivity<br>

All your regrets<br>

Ride rough-shod over me<br>

I'm so glad<br>

That we're strangers when we meet<br>

I'm so thankful<br>

That we're strangers when we meet<br>

I'm in clover<br>

For we're strangers when we meet<br>

Heel head over<br>

And we're strangers when we meet<br>

<br>
