Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / 
All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. / 
If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise / 
for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. / 


I saw your face / and I ascended, / 
out of the common place / into the rare. / 
Somewhere in space / I hang suspended / 
until I know / there's a chance that you care. / 


Oh, won't you answer this loving prayer / 
of a stranger in paradise? / 
Don't send me in dark despair / for all that I hunger for. / 
But open your angel arms / to the stranger in paradise, / 
and tell him that he need be / a stranger no more. / 


Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / 
All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. / 
If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise / 
for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. / 


Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / 
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, / 
la, la, la, la, la. / 
Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / 
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, / 
la, la, la, la, la. / 
Touch me, / I'm sick.
